FC-ATT TEST 1
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Answer-1) Report an situation or equipment that you
consider unsafe
2) Warn others who are endangered by failing to observe safety procedures
3) Always use the required protective clothing and equipment
4) Report any injuries that occur
5) Exercise caution when confronted with unforeseen situations
6) Know precisely what to do in the event of electric shock
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) - Answer--Formulated guidelines that govern
safety in the workplace
-Law requires businesses to follow
-Protects employees and material resources
HOW ELECTRICITY PASSES THROUGH THE BODY - Answer--Electricity travels in closed circuits, with its
normal current flow from ground, through a conductor, to a voltage source.
-Current always follows the path with the least resistance
-When the human body closes the circuit by providing a path from ground, electric shock can occur.
CURRENT - Answer-Movement or flow of electrons
, -When electrons from a negatively charged body to a positively charged body an electric current is
developed
GROUND - Answer-Part of a circuit that is electrically connected to earth.
-The ground provides a common return point for voltages and signals
CONDUCTOR - Answer-An object that provides a path for electricity to follow
VOLTAGE - Answer--The force or pressure that moves current
-Also known as EMF, electromotive force
-Unit= volt
RESISTANCE - Answer--A material's opposition to the flow of electric current.
-Unit= ohms
FACTORS THAT AFFECT BODIES RESISTANCE - Answer-1) Skin- unbroken dry skin has a higher resistance
than wet, cut, bruised, or burned skin
2)Moisture
3) High voltage
4) How tightly the victim is grasping the voltage source
THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT THAT CAN PASS THROUGH THE BODY WITHOUT DANGER DEPENDS ON: -
Answer-1) Individual
2) Amount of current
3) Type of current
4) Path of current
5) Contact time
