Fundamentals of Electrical HazardsFundamentals of Electrical Hazards


23/62

Dos and Don'tsDos and Don'ts Do plug power equipment into wall receptacles

with power switches in the Off position.

Do unplug electrical equipment by grasping theplug and pulling. Do not pull or jerk the cord to

unplug the equipment.

Do not drape power cords over hot pipes, radiatorsor sharp objects.


24/62

Dos and Don'tsDos and Don'ts

Slips

Slip

-Loss of balance caused by too little friction between a

persons foot and a walking surface.

Common Causes:

Wet or oily surfaces,

Occasional spills,

Weather hazards,

Loose, unanchored rugs or mats, and

Flooring or other walking surfaces that are worn.


40/62

Trips

Trip

- hit an object, lose your balance and fall

Common Causes: Obstructed view Poor lighting

Clutter in your way

Wrinkled carpeting

Uncovered cables Drawers not being closed

Uneven (steps, thresholds) walking surfaces


41/62

Falls

Fall:

- when you lose your balance & drop to the floor

There are three types of falls:

Falls on the same level

Slip or trip immediately precedes fall to floor or walkway

Falls to lower level

Falls are from platforms, docks, ladders, steps or stairs

Jumps to lower level An intentional jump from one level to another

Employee jumps off ladder, dock, equipment


42/62

Prevention

Good housekeeping

Quality of walking surfaces (flooring)

Selection of proper footwear

Appropriate pace of work


43/62

Housekeeping

Clean up spills immediately

Mark spills and wet areas

Mop or sweep debris from floor

Remove obstacles from walkways

Keep walkways free of clutter

Secure mats, rugs and carpets

Close file cabinet or storage drawersCover cables that cross walkway

must extend at least 3 feet (0.9 m) above the upper landingsurface

If it is not possible because of the ladder's length, the ladder

must be secured at its top to a rigid support that must not

deflect and a grasping device, such as a grab rail, must beprovided to assist employees in mounting and dismounting.

Ladders must be kept free of oil, grease, and other slipping

fall protection harness must be worn and tied off to a solid

structure to protect the employee in the event of a fall.
