WHAT ARE ELECTRICAL HAZARDS?
Fires – The misuse of electricity is a major cause of fires in the home and workplace.
This is particularly true when the equipment produces heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, kettles, hair dryers, heat-seal packaging equipment, etc.). Many fires are caused by faulty appliances and damaged cables and connections.
Electric burns – If electricity contacts with the skin or passes through the body, it can cause burns. Burns can be categorised as first, second or third degree, depending on how badly the skin is damaged. Electric burns can also potentially damage internal organs.
Electric shock – Electric shock occurs when an electric current passes through the body. Electric shock can range from experiencing a slight tingling sensation to cardiac arrest. Shocks from electrical equipment can also lead to indirect injuries such as head injuries and fractures, due to falls from ladders or other work platforms.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY TIPS
- Make sure staff understand how to use the electrical equipment properly.
- Have enough sockets are available.
- Ensure sockets are not overloaded.
- Clear any trailing cables.
- Switch off and unplug appliances before cleaning or adjusting them.
- Stop using equipment that appears to be faulty.
