This presentation addresses “individual
protection” for electricians and other
electrical workers working with
electricity so that you and your
colleagues remain safe.

Protect yourself by wearing the appropriate
clothing. You should
always wear non-flammable
work clothes that are rated for the hazard.

Always wear safety shoes, with
insulated sols and heels.

Never wear a tie or a
scarf.

Remove all metal jewelry, rings and watches since gold
and silver are very good conductors.
In the case of short circuit caused by jewelry, an electric
arc maybe formed with fatal results

Tool belts are practical, however,
metallic mounts, rivet, and tools make
the belt unsuitable for work in
small areas as they may come into
contact with live surfaces. So the
belt should be removed before beginning
work in confine spaces.
A non-conductive helmet protects you
against electric shocks, combustions, and
falling and moving objects.

If you are working near live circuits, you
should also protect your face.

Make sure every employee is aware
and has full knowledge of first aid
for electrical accidents.

When the electric current passes through the body, the
muscles can tract, the victim is unable to free him or
herself in the live object.

In this case, switch off the
electricity as quickly as possible
to stop the current.

If you cannot switch off the electricity,
try to free the victim from the electric
current with the help of a non-
conductive object. For example, a
broom handle.

After freeing the victim, lay him
or her down in the recovery
position.

Check the pulse and breathing. Call an
ambulance or a doctor by dialing 911.
![Page 15: Electrical Safety Individual Protection](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042515/5790568d1a28ab900c99b6af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Find out, whether the patient can hear
you and can answer your questions.
![Page 16: Electrical Safety Individual Protection](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042515/5790568d1a28ab900c99b6af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If you cannot feel the victim’s pulse or
detect signs of breathing, begin
resuscitation and continue until
professional help arrives.

Summary
Working with electrical installations and appliances is
dangerous, you can however protect yourself and your
colleagues against danger.
Technical safety measures are important. However, it is
your personal behavior which determines their
effectiveness. If you do not follow the correct safety
procedures, you needlessly expose yourself and others to
electrical dangers.

1.Disconnect installation.
2.Ensure installation cannot be switch
on without your knowledge.
3.Check installation is not live.
4.Ensure the installation is earthed.
5.Remove or isolate potential
conductors.
