electrical safety
power must come from a grounded, 3-wire distribution system (use isolation
transformers, ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), and line isolation monitors); dont
use extension cords; inspect cords and connection; equipment logs; avoid water; report
hazards
electrical hazards
a potential ignition source; burn human tissue; cause muscle contraction and ventricular
fibrillation; can be fatal
electrical injury risk/severity depend on:
duration of contact, voltage, current, pathway of current through the body, moisture
content of the skin, susceptibility of the individual
electrical hazard controls
maintenance for any work involving faulty wiring, electrical outlets; remove and
disconnect from power sources, and tag defective; avoid extension cords; avoid placing
cords across areas of pedestrian traffic; inspect cords and equipment regularly
