Electrical Safety - Construction
Advantage Safety Presentation
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
Advantage Safety Presentation
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
Advantage Safety Presentation
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
Advantage Safety Presentation
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.
Advantage Safety Presentation
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
Advantage Safety Presentation
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
Defibrillator in use
Advantage Safety Presentation
BurnsMost common shock-
related injuryOccurs when you touch
electrical wiring or equipment that is improperly used or maintained
Typically occurs on handsVery serious injury that
needs immediate attention
Advantage Safety Presentation
Falls
Electric shock can also cause indirect injuries
Workers in elevated locations who experience a shock may fall, resulting in serious injury or death
Advantage Safety Presentation
Electrical Hazards and How to Control Them
Electrical accidents are caused by a combination of three factors: Unsafe equipment and/or
installation, Workplaces made unsafe
by the environment, and Unsafe work practices.
Advantage Safety Presentation
Hazard – Exposed Electrical Parts
Cover removed from wiring or breaker box
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control – Isolate Electrical Parts
Use guards or barriers
Replace covers
Guard live parts of electric equipment operating at 50 volts or more against accidental contact
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control – Isolate Electrical Parts - Cabinets, Boxes & Fittings
Conductors going into them must be protected, and unused openings must be closed
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control – Close Openings
Junction boxes, pull boxes and fittings must have approved covers
Unused openings in cabinets, boxes and fittings must be closed (no missing knockouts) Photo shows violations
of these two requirements
Advantage Safety Presentation
Hazard - Overhead Power Lines
Usually not insulatedExamples of equipment
that can contact power lines: Crane Ladder Scaffold Backhoe Scissors lift Raised dump truck bed Aluminum paint roller
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control - Overhead Power Lines
Stay at least 10 feet away
Post warning signsAssume that lines are
energizedUse wood or fiberglass
ladders, not metalPower line workers
need special training & PPE
Advantage Safety Presentation
Hazard - Inadequate Wiring
Hazard - wire too small for the current
Example - portable tool with an extension cord that has a wire too small for the tool The tool will draw more current
than the cord can handle, causing overheating and a possible fire without tripping the circuit breaker
The circuit breaker could be the right size for the circuit but not for the smaller-wire extension cord
Wire Gauge
WIRE
Wire gauge measures wires ranging in size from number 36 to 0 American wire gauge (AWG)
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control – Use the Correct WireWire used depends on operation, building
materials, electrical load, and environmental factors
Use fixed cords rather than flexible cordsUse the correct extension cord
Must be 3-wire type and designed for hard or extra-hard use
Advantage Safety Presentation
Hazard – Defective Cords & Wires
Plastic or rubber covering is missing
Damaged extension cords & tools
Advantage Safety Presentation
Hazard – Damaged CordsCords can be damaged
by: Aging Door or window edges Staples or fastenings Abrasion from adjacent
materials Activity in the area
Improper use can cause shocks, burns or fire
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control – Cords & WiresInsulate live wires Check before useUse only cords that are 3-wire
type Use only cords marked for hard
or extra-hard usageUse only cords, connection
devices, and fittings equipped with strain relief
Remove cords by pulling on the plugs, not the cords
Cords not marked for hard or extra-hard use, or which have been modified, must be taken out of service immediately
Advantage Safety Presentation
Permissible Use of Flexible Cords
Stationary equipment-to facilitate interchange
DO NOT use flexible wiring where frequent inspection would be difficult or where damage would be likely.
Flexible cords must not be . . .• run through holes in walls, ceilings, or floors;• run through doorways, windows, or similar openings (unless physically protected);• hidden in walls, ceilings, floors, conduit or other raceways.
Advantage Safety Presentation
Grounding Grounding creates a
low-resistance path from a tool to the earth to disperse unwanted current.
When a short or
lightning occurs, energy flows to the ground, protecting you from electrical shock, injury and death.
Advantage Safety Presentation
Hazard – Improper Grounding
Tools plugged into improperly grounded circuits may become energized
Broken wire or plug on extension cord
Some of the most frequently violated OSHA standards
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control – Ground Tools & Equipment
Ground power supply systems, electrical circuits, and electrical equipment
Frequently inspect electrical systems to insure path to ground is continuous
Inspect electrical equipment before use
Don’t remove ground prongs from tools or extension cords
Ground exposed metal parts of equipment
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control – Use GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter)
Protects you from shockDetects difference in current
between the black and white wires
If ground fault detected, GFCI shuts off electricity in 1/40th of a second
Use GFCI’s on all 120-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles, or have an assured equipment grounding conductor program.
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control - Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Program
Program must cover: All cord sets Receptacles not part of a building or
structure Equipment connected by plug and cord
Program requirements include: Specific procedures adopted by the employer Competent person to implement the program Visual inspection for damage of equipment
connected by cord and plug
Advantage Safety Presentation
Hazard – Overloaded CircuitsHazards may result from:Too many devices plugged
into a circuit, causing heated wires and possibly a fire
Damaged tools overheatingLack of overcurrent
protectionWire insulation melting,
which may cause arcing and a fire in the area where the overload exists, even inside a wall
Advantage Safety Presentation
Control - Electrical Protective Devices
Automatically opens circuit if excess current from overload or ground-fault is detected – shutting off electricity
Includes GFCI’s, fuses, and circuit breakers
Fuses and circuit breakers are overcurrent devices. When too much current:

Abrasive Wheels and ToolsMay throw off flying fragments
Equip with guards that: Cover the spindle end, nut, & flange projections Maintain proper alignment with the wheel Don’t exceed the strength of the fastenings
Guard so that a minimal amount of the wheel is exposed
Advantage Safety Presentation
Inspecting Abrasive Wheels Before mounting: inspect closely for damage perform sound- or ring-test to ensure free from cracks / defects
To test: tap wheel gently with a light, non-metallic instrument if wheel sounds cracked or dead, do not use it because it could fly apart
Advantage Safety Presentation
Abrasive Wheel UseTo prevent cracking:• fit the wheel on the spindle freely • tighten the spindle nut enough to hold the wheel in place without distorting the flange
Let the tool come up to speed prior to grinding or cutting
Don’t stand in front of the wheel as it comes up to full speed
Use eye and/or face protection
Ensure the spindle speed doesn’t exceed the maximum speed marked on the wheel
Advantage Safety Presentation
Abrasive Wheel Work RestsKeep work rests not more than 1/8th inch from wheel surface
This prevents jamming the work between the wheel and the rest, which may cause the wheel to break
Don’t adjust wheel while it’s rotating
