Electrical Safety Training Secrets
DANGER:
AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCKS AND THE
LEGAL SYSTEM
IMPLEMENT "ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAINING SECRETS"
_IF YOU EVER WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF WORKERS AND ELECTRICAL
WORKERS UNDER YOUR CARE AROUND ELECTRICITY WHETHER AT A CONSTRUCTION
SITE, WORKPLACE OR GENERALLY THEN THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
INFORMATION YOU WILL EVER READ._
FROM: PETER PIDWARKO - PLEASE READ EVERY WORD
DEAR FRIEND
IF YOU EVER WONDERED HOW THE SIMPLE ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAINING
SECRETS AND WHAT I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU COULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT
MESSAGE YOU HAVE EVER READ.
Here's why
THERE HAVE BEEN MORE ELECTRICAL FATALITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD FROM
LOW VOLTAGE SHOCKS THAN FROM CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGE CONDUCTORS.
WHILE NOT ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE AVERAGE PERSON, EXTRA LOW
VOLTAGES BELOW 50 VOLTS CAN ALSO CAUSE SHOCKS AND BE HAZARDOUS TO A
SUSCEPTIBLE PERSON.
How do I know this?
"I HAVE BEEN IN THE ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY FOR OVER 30 YEARS WITH OVER
15 YEARS MANAGING ELECTRICAL AND NON-ELECTRICAL WORKERS".
HERE ARE THE FACTS:
Electrical Shock and its Consequences:
The severity of electrical shock depends on:
* Shock current taken by the victim.
* Time of contact with the live equipment.
* Path of current flow through the victim.
* Body resistance.
_SHOCK CURRENT AND ITS EFFECT:_
Various researches throughout the world have established the
following figures as being factual:
1-3 milliamps - can be felt.
10-15 milliamps - hard to let go.
25-30 milliamps - chest muscles contract; unable to breathe.
Above 50 milliamps - heart affected; flutters and does not pump
(fibrillation)
Above 5 amps - current paralyses nerve centers in heart, is clamped,
and resumes pumping when current removed.
NOTE: A current as low as 20 milliamps can cause death.
_TIME FOR FIBRILLATION TO OCCUR:_
The time of contact before fibrillation occurs is related to the
cardiac cycle of the heart and is as shown below:
MILLIAMPS
TIME IN SECONDS FOR FIBRILLATION TO OCCUR

5.75
30
-
4.0
50
-
1.45
100
-
0.36
190
-
0.1
These figures were established by an international body of experts
at a Geneva meeting in 1961 and still relevant.
_PATH OF CURRENT FLOW IN BODY:_
The most critical path of current flow through the body is where the
heart is in the path of this flow.
_NOTES:_
The above figures are for contact from hand to hand, hand to food or
head to foot, where the current path passes the heart and respiratory
centers. Contact from foot to foot or other areas not involving the
heart is less severe.
_BODY RESISTANCE:_
It has been found from post mortem research that for 50 cycles the
resistance figures are constant under the skin through fat and tissue,
at about 600 OHMS. The resistance of the skin varies from person to
person, and depends on the moisture and condition of the skin.
It can be as high as 2,000 OHMS, and the accepted minimum figure is
500 OHMS from hand to hand or for a body in a conducting fluid about
200 OHMS. For instance, on a 250 volt system the minimum current taken
by a person would be 480 milliamps. This is well above the acceptable
limit.
_NOTES:_
The above figures have been taken from persons with a normal heart.
Any heart abnormality would considerably increase the effects as noted
above.
_VOLTAGE:_
The voltages generally encountered on projects are as described in
countries standards and are listed below:
Extra Low Voltage - Not exceeding 50 volts AC or 120 volts
ripple-free DC
Low Voltage - Exceeding ELV but not exceeding 1000 volts AC or 1500
volts DC.
High Voltage - Exceeding LV (not covered in this e-book)
_NOTES:_
Work on "live" conductors at these voltages must be taken very
seriously. There have been more electrical fatalities throughout the
World from low voltage shocks than from contact with high voltage
conductors.
While not especially dangerous to the average person, voltages below
50 volts can also cause shocks and be hazardous to a susceptible
person. To attempt to control these risks, some jurisdictions in your
country, state or county have recently introduced new legislation,
which places more stringent requirements for working on low voltage.
Local Legislations and Regulations must be referred to at all times.
NOW I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING
I HAVE SEEN ELECTRICAL ACCIDENTS THAT HAVE CAUSED PERMANENT DAMAGE
TO MY WORKMATES AND IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
SO IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS I, THEN MAYBE YOU
KNOW HOW IT FEELS.
I AM WORRIED THAT THERE ARE STILL LARGE, MEDIUM, SMALL BUSINESSES
AND WORKERS OUT THERE WHO DO NOT TAKE THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING FOR
THEMSELVES AND OF THEIR FELLOW WORKERS SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY WORKING
WITH AND AROUND ELECTRICITY.
WELL I'VE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT
HERE'S WHAT I HAVE DONE I HAVE CREATED THIS E-BOOK BECAUSE THERE IS
A NEED FOR A COLLECTION OF INFORMATION ON ELECTRICAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS THAT GIVES ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND ELECTRICAL SERVICE AND
CONTRACTING BUSINESS OWNERS, MANAGERS, SUPERVISORS AND ELECTRICAL
WORKERS PROVEN SYSTEMS WORKING TOWARDS A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT WITH
ZERO INJURY TOLERANCE.
Les writes
I am a business owner with an Electrical Contracting Business and it
is mandatory that I have an electrical safety management system in
place because of the high risk nature of the business and have used
the information Peter has provided over the last several years.
These documents, processes and procedures cover all aspects of the
business from on the job daily risk assessments through proven safe
work methods working with and around electricity, to final electrical
testing, just makes a complete system.
My electrical workers need to have proven systems to work with so
they do not go off in a tangent as the system gives them a step by
step process with check points throughout so they do not miss
anything.
I know my workers will go home every afternoon to their families in
the same condition as when they started work helps me sleep well at
night knowing I have provided a safe and healthy working environment
and able to ensure they are also doing the right thing using the
systems checks and audits that help complete the checks and balances.
The system is worth more than its weight in gold and anyone who is
commissioned to have people under their care within a high risk
business must have a system and recommend they implement a system like
this one before its too late.
Thanks for everything Peter.

JUST A FEW STATISTICS
$118,000 in fines imposed for electrical shock accident
8 June 2001
NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA -- A power supply company and an
electrical contractor have been fined a total of $118,000 by the NSW
Industrial Relations Commission in Court Session over an accident in
which a technician suffered electrical shock and burns and another was
placed at risk.
Justice Glynn fined NorthPower $60,000 and the contractor, PF
Thearle & Company Pty Ltd, $58,000, for breaches of the Occupational
Health and Safety Act relating to the accident at the Wardell Sewage
Treatment Works in Northern New South Wales. The two men were
installing mains cables from a transformer to an electrical switch
room at the sewage works in March 1997 when one of them came into
contact with a live 240 volt cable.
$117,000 IN FINES IMPOSED VIOLATIONS OF LOCKOUT/TAGOUT
16 August 2007
WASHINGTON - USA The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) today proposed $2.78 MILLION in
penalties against Ohio-based Cintas Corp In a separate case, OSHA
today issued five repeat and two serious citations with penalties
totaling $117,500 for violations of the lockout/tagout and machine
guarding standards found at the Cintas Columbus, Ohio, facility. OSHA
also has opened investigations in Arkansas and Alabama. Washington, an
OSHA State Plan state, has issued four citations with proposed fines
totaling $13,650, alleging violations for similar hazards at the
Yakima Cintas facility.
$49,000 IN FINES IMPOSED FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK ACCIDENT
12 June 2006
BRAINTREE, MASS. -- USA Revoli Construction Company Inc. of North
Reading, Mass., faces $49,000 in proposed fines from the U.S.
Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) following an OSHA inspection prompted by an accident at a
Kingston, Mass., worksite.
On Aug. 21, an excavator operated by Revoli Construction struck an
overhead energized power line with its boom while it was attempting to
lift its bucket. The electrical current passed through the boom and
down to the ground where it traveled outward and shocked a nearby
police officer.
