⚡ Electrical Safety Awareness – One Mistake Can Be Fatal
Risk Control
đ Electricity is silent but deadly.
You can’t see it, you can’t smell it but one unsafe act can cause shock, burns, fire, or death.
❌ Common Electrical Hazards
Exposed live wires
Overloaded circuits & equipment
Wet conditions near electrical systems
Using damaged cables, plugs, or tools
Working without proper isolation (LOTO)
Poor earthing/grounding
Unauthorized repair or unsafe connections
✅ Safety Precautions
1. Inspection First – Always check tools, plugs, extension boards before use.
2. Dry & Safe Area – Never touch electrical equipment with wet hands or in damp areas.
3. Correct Rating – Use proper fuse, MCB, circuit breaker for load capacity.
4. PPE – Wear insulating gloves, arc-rated face shield, dielectric boots where required.
5. Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) – De-energize equipment before maintenance or repair.
6. Earthing & Bonding – Ensure all systems are grounded properly.
7. Safe Distance – Maintain clearance from overhead power lines.
8. Training – Only qualified electricians should work on live systems.
9. Emergency Readiness – Keep CO₂ / dry powder fire extinguishers for electrical fire.
10. No Overloading – Avoid multiple devices on one socket.
đ Standards & SDS Awareness
NFPA 70 (NEC) – National Electrical Code (safe wiring & installation)
NFPA 70E – Electrical Safety in the Workplace (Arc Flash protection)
OSHA 1910 Subpart S – Electrical safety regulations
SDS (for Batteries, Oils, Chemicals in Panels) – Always check hazards like acid, flammable vapors.
