    SAFETY IN ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE


    DO’s
     Ensure that all electrical equipment on which the men work are properly grounded and
    disconnected from the source of point.
     Always ‘TEST BEFORE TOUCHING ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT’.
     Stay away from push buttons. Do not stop or start motors incidentally
     Ensure no temporary connection is provided in classified area
     Strictly follow the electrical permit system for any major electrical maintenance job.
     Always use safety rubber hand gloves and rubber mats. Before racking out any breaker (HT
    or LT) make sure that the breaker which is going to rack out must be in OFF position.
     Observe the following rules when installing or maintaining explosion proof equipment:
    ▪ Flange surface must be clean and undamaged.
    ▪ Threads must be clean and undamaged.
    ▪ While replacing covers tighten bolt properly or engage all threads on threaded covers. If the
    above three conditions cannot be met, replace the damaged equipment and do not take
    Chance.
     Attach welding machine ground return cable to the object on which welding is being done.
    While racking out a breaker from service position to test position do not give jerks, use
    uniform and even pulling force.
     Always insist on written line clearance before energizing isolated equipment (WORK PERMIT
    SYSTEM TO BE ADOPTED AND FOLLOWED).
     Before pushing a breaker (HT or LT) from test position to service position, make sure that
    the spring is in Discharge condition.
     Put a caution board ‘DO NOT SWITCH ON – MEN AT WORK’ on the breaker/ MCC when men
    are at work with some equipment. Also switch off the control power supply of the breaker.
     Before isolating any feeder or equipment, read the panel number and tag number written
    on the panel and ensure that you are touching the correct feeder or correct switch. Read
    out the tag numbers a bit loudly to avoid unintentional error.
     Give immediate and appropriate first aid including mouth to mouth resuscitation for any
    shock victim.

     Unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter MCC (Motor Control Room) or fenced
    enclosures around electrical equipment.
     Never operate the push on the switch on which “DO NOT SWITCH ON-MEN AT WORK”

     While pulling out or inserting HRC fuse, make use of insulated fuse puller. Do not try to
    insert or pull out HRC fuse with the help of insulated pliers
     Do not try to put your fingers, screw drivers or any other tools inside the HT and MCCB
    breakers when its spring is in CHARGED condition.
     Do not stop and start motors frequently. This will damage both the starter and the motor or
