Electrical Safety Training |
|
Electrical current exposes workers to a serious, widespread
occupational hazard. Practically all members of the workforce are
exposed to electrical energy during the performance of their daily
duties. Electrical accidents occur daily when faulty insulation,
careless handling or improper grounding allow a current to get out of
control. Electrocutions occur to workers in various job categories.
Many workers are unaware of the potential electrical hazards present in
their work environment, which makes them even more vulnerable to the
danger of electrocution.
Electrical dangers such as shock, electrocution, arc flash and arc
blast will always be present on the job, but proper safety training and
safety strategies can minimize the likelihood of injuries and
fatalities. For instance, using simple precautions like the following
can save workers from the trauma of electrocution.
- Inspecting tools before performing any electrical work
- Never working with electricity in wet weather
- Using ventilation to lower the concentration of atmospheric hazards, such as flammable dust, in the work area
- Using proper PPE for the job
