CASE STUDY 3 : CHAPTER 7 - ELECTRICAL SAFETY
INTRODUCTION
Assalamualaikum
and have a nice day everyone, today we are given the new task for
chapter 7. This group discussion consist of 3 members, I,Nur Syafiqa Binti Ibrahim,Puteri Shazmira
Sofea Binti Safie, & Nur Hidayah Binti
Zarapi and we are from the Solenoid's group.😁WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
Electricity is electrical energy or electrical power when its generated , supplied , or utilized .
DEFECTIVE INSULATION HAZARD :
⇨IMPROPER GROUNDING HAZARD
⇨IMPROPER GROUNDING HAZARD
- Grounding is the process used to eliminate unwanted voltage.
- A ground is a physical electrical connection to the earth
- Electrical equipment must be properly grounded.
- Grounding reduces the risk of being shocked or electrocuted.
- The ground pin safely returns leakage current to ground.
- Never remove the ground pin.
- Removing the ground pin removes an important safety feature.
- You can get shocked!
- Overloaded circuits can cause fires.
- Use proper circuit breakers
- Never overload an outlet.
- Do not use power strips or surge protectors on construction sites.
- Use a 3-way extension with a GFCI instead.
WET CONDITION HAZARD
- Wet conditions are hazardous.
- Damaged insulation increases the hazard.
- Always avoid using tools in wet locations.
- Water increases the risk of electric shock.
PREVENTING MEASURES IN ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- PROTECTION FROM DIRECT CONTACT
- PROTECTION FROM INDIRECT CONTACT
SAVE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
LOCK OUT AND TAG OUT
- All electrical source
- Place on each disconnecting means used to de-energize circuits
- Attach lock to prevent operating
- Place tag with each lock
OVERLOAD WIRING BY USING THE RIGHT SIZE AND TYPE OF WIRE
- Max.Ampere rating vs size for copper conductor
- value are not more than 3 conductor in raceway or cable
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF ALL ABOVE IS NOT CONTROL?
- The number of injuries among electrical workers will be increase
- There will be no more electrical workers because they to afraid that they will die.
- It will been traumatized for the victims
- Half of their body will been burn and died.
- They also will lose some of their sensation.
Conclusion
•Adequate electrical safety in health-care facilities and systems can be achieved at moderate costs by combining:
1.Good power-distribution system2.Well designed equipment3.Periodic maintenance and testing of power systems and equipment4.Modest training program for medical personnel
