Tether or restrain workers so they can't reach the edge
Designate and use safety monitors(This is less desirable of all the systems)
Use conventional fall protection

Electricity - The Dangers
About 5 workers are electrocuted every week
Causes 12% of young worker workplace deaths
Takes very little electricity to cause harm
Significant risk of causing fires

Electricity – How it Works
Electricity is the flow of energy from one place to another
Requires a source of power: usually a generating station
A flow of electrons (current) travels through a conductor
Travels in a closed circuit
![Page 23: ADVANTAGE STAFFING Safety Presentation. Fall Protection Options Advantage Safety Presentation Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) Guardrails Safety Net](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ee75503460f94bf752f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Electrical TermsCurrent -- electrical movement (measured in amps)Circuit -- complete path of the current.
Includes electricity source, a conductor, and the output device or load (such as a lamp, tool, or heater)
Resistance -- restriction to electrical flow Conductors – substances, like metals, with little
resistance to electricity that allow electricity to flow Grounding – a conductive connection to the earth
which acts as a protective measureInsulators -- substances with high resistance to
electricity like glass, porcelain, plastic, and dry wood that prevent electricity from getting to unwanted areas

Electrical Injuries
There are four main types of electrical injuries:Direct:
Electrocution or death due to electrical shock
Electrical shockBurns
Indirect - Falls

Advantage Safety Presentation
Electrical Shock
An electrical shock is received when electrical current passes through the body.
You will get an electrical shock if a part of your
body completes an electrical circuit by…Touching a live wire and an electrical
ground, orTouching a live wire and another wire at a
different voltage.
![Page 26: ADVANTAGE STAFFING Safety Presentation. Fall Protection Options Advantage Safety Presentation Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) Guardrails Safety Net](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649ee75503460f94bf752f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Shock SeveritySeverity of the shock depends
on: Path of current through the body Amount of current flowing through
the body (amps) Duration of the shocking current
through the body, LOW VOLTAGE DOES NOT
MEAN LOW HAZARD

Dangers of Electrical Shock
Currents above 10 mA* can paralyze or “freeze” muscles.
Currents more than 75 mA can cause a rapid, ineffective heartbeat -- death will occur in a few minutes unless a defibrillator is used
75 mA is not much current – a small power drill uses 30 times as much
* mA = milliampere = 1/1,000 of an ampere

Avoid Wet ConditionsIf you touch a live wire or other
electrical component while standing in even a small puddle of water you’ll get a shock.
Damaged insulation, equipment, or tools can expose you to live electrical parts.
Improperly grounded metal switch plates & ceiling lights are especially hazardous in wet conditions.
Wet clothing, high humidity, and perspiration increase your chances of being electrocuted.
