          ELECTRICAL SAFETY || INDUSTRIAL SAFETY||

[we can details study about electrical  hazards & safety by this post.] 

Introduction-  

            Electricity is most important useful invention in the earth. World technology revaluation bring about depend on it, for that electricity is a one of the main pillar for Modern life. We can’t survive without electric, it is also call as life line of human but other side electricity is most dangerous or hazardous for human and other animals, sometime it can be reason of death. So we need to know about electrical hazards for awareness to prevent electrical accidents through using proper electrical safety on industrial worksite.

Definition of electricity-       

        Electrical known as physical phenomenon and flow of electrical charges particular one direction (such as electron proton) this energy is calling electricity. Generally it produces from fossil fuel, hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and nuclear.

Electrical hazards

      witch types of hazards conduct by electricity and electric related work that’s call electrical hazards.

Mainly two types of electrical hazards happen in the industrial work place and others area.

   Types of electrical hazards-

                       Electrical fire hazards

                       Electrical shock hazards

Electrical fire hazards- 

          Electrical system one of the hazardous reason of fire for industrial work site and any others area for that we should to know about it to prevent electrical fire accidents on work places.

• Short circuit -  

        It is most hazardous reason of electrical fire. Most of the fire accident occurs due to electrical short circuit on industrial work places.

Short circuit is two nodes improperly connected with each others in electrical circuit where two or more wire not suppose to come in contact each other touch ,Low resistance connection between the two conductors supplying electrical power to any circuit, this result excessive current flow to power sources through the short. For that create heat and sparked to happen fire on site.

• Defected equipment and outlet--   

       Defected and outdated electrical equipment (like- motors, welding machine, grinding machine, wiring, and others appliances.) are big reason of electrical fire on industrial work place.

Fire is can be beginning faulty equipment damage cord, damages plug and switches. During work with power tools and others electrical related instruments frayed cord which can send heat  on to the combustible surface /floor curtains ,wood are can be reason of fire.

• Over headed power lines-

    Over headed power lines are common matter on industrial work site for temporary or permanently. It also reason of electrical fire and explosion. These types of lines conduct a limited voltage and sometimes these lines are passing over any flammable/combustible substance, for that by any chances powers line start burning and sparking due to overload voltage supply it result wire may cut down on flammable materials and make fire and explosion.

• Defected circuit breaker-

       Circuit breakers an electrical device it help defend demonic due to short circuit in industrial work place. But defected or outdated circuit breaker can be reason of electrical fire on site.  Faulty device can’t the break circuit system to stop the energy flow during short circuit.

• Bad maintenance –

      Lack of maintenance of electrical system are very dangerous for workers on site and it can be reason of electrical accidents.

Electrical shock hazards-

       Electrical shock is most hazards cause of electrical accident and it big role of industrial accidents. Electricity known as life line of modern human life (human body make by 70% of water) it great conductivity of electricity for that it can be cause of unexpectedly death for human.

                   

The severity of shock depend on these factors-

          Resistance of current
           Duration of current flow
           Path of flow
           Amount of current
           Energy types
           Voltage body resistance (ohm) of different part of body

•  Damage wire- 

          It is one of the hazards reason of electrical shock in industrial work places. Get heavy electrical shock to workers for damage/ jointed wire during working with electrical equipment, its result shock related injuries and may be death of workers.

• Wet surface-

       It is also a reason of electrical shock (water is great conductor of electricity). Mainly rennin season work site have wet condition, work with electrical equipment on wet surface can be cause of electrical shock to workers. It result is burning of body parts, muscle injuries may fatal accidents.

• Without protection- 

         Without take proper protection work with electrical system can be shock to workers on site for that worker fall down, tools fall form height and bad physical (shock injuries) effects may be occur death accidents.

• Improper earthing-

        earthing system is necessary for any electrical instruments or installation for leakage current flow to the earth to prevent electrical accident. Leakage of current due to faulty wiring badly insulated appliance and improper use may be lead  current flowing through the wrong path body of equipment, wire etc to shock the workers due to improper earthing.

• Faulty electrical instruments-  

           work with faulty electrical instruments has high chance to get shock for workers in industrial work place, its result is shock related injuries.

Electrical safety measures 

 Electricity is important part of Modern life but it also equally hazardous for us so we need to know   how prevent electrical accidents.

Which types of safety measures protect us from electrical hazards to prevent accidents that known as electrical safety.

• Short circuit prevention-

            short circuit is a dangerous reason electrical fire for that we need to know how to prevent it.

Wiring and electrical installation by trained person in industrial work site and install well quality  circuit breaker to avoid short circuit for prevent electrical fire accidents.

• Personal protective equipment (PPE) - 

           PPE is the first line of defense for hazards in industrial work place. Wearing proper electrical ppe during electrical work on work site. (ppe- rubber gloves, rubber shoes goggles etc)

• Isolation-

          Isolation is important precaution to protect from electrical accidents in industrial work places. During electrical maintenance work connection should be isolated and use logout and tag out system make it safer.

• Proper earthings-   

         sometime improper earthing can be cause of electrical accidents. Earthing system can interrupt automatically current supply to an electrical circuit board during (faulty wiring, poorly insulated electrical device etc) leakage of current flow to earth by earthling systems and prevent electrical accidents.

• Electrical fire extinguishers-

        Co2 extinguisher is use for electrical fire so should be keep it near of worksite. Should be use fire insulation cable.

•   Faulty equipment-

        Do not work with defected / faulty electrical equipment because it is very hazards for workers. So remove all faulty equipment away from work site.

• Proper wiring-

        Improper wiring is also a reason short circuit in industrial work place, for that should be proper wiring by expert person. Follow proper safety rules during temporary wiring.

• Damages and loose wire-

       Use of damages or jointed wire by workers during work with electrical equipment it very dangerous, so should not be work like it. Use only cuts free wire for works. Never leave loose wire to run along the floor and avoid loose connection. 

   

•  Flexible line-

        It always keeps in good care, use double insulation flexible cables should be use for extension electrical work; it should not be use lifting materials.

  

• Wet land-

       Working on the wet land with electrical instrument that can be reason of electrical accidents, for that use proper electrical protection during work on wet work site. Do not touch any electrical goods by wet hand.

• Over loaded -

      over headed electrical lines should not be supply over limit voltage. Do not be over load motors, wires, outlets etc.

• over headed power line-

work at height very close to power lines it very dangerous for  workers so should be proper safety precaution for it according of situation.

• Power tools- 

Power tools are very common things on industrial work site it also hazardous of workers so take proper safety measures to prevent accidents.

  Keep away cords from heats oil & sharp enrages.

 Disconnect tools after work.

  Use tools on dry place double insulation tools should be use.  

 Do not use tools that smock, spark, or shock.

conclusion - after reading this post we can conclude about electrical safety.
