    The document discusses common electrical hazards like exposed parts, overloaded circuits, and improper wiring that can cause electric shock or burns. It explains that electricity takes the path of least resistance through the human body, and higher voltages can cause more severe injuries such as deep burns, ear damage, or death from currents passed across the chest. Proper precautions are outlined like keeping cables dry, ensuring proper grounding, and disconnecting tools when not in use.

    DO YOU KNOW THAT?

    What are the common hazards What are the types of burns caused
    - ELECTRICITY is always trying to find the whilst working with electricity? by electricity?
    easiest path to ground.
    - Exposed electrical parts - Electrical burn
    - Electricity often uses your body as good
    conductors because about 70% of the human - Overloaded circuits - Arc burn
    body is WATER. - Damaged power tools and equipment - Thermal contact burns
    - Higher voltages can cause larger currents - Wires with defective insulation Injuries that can be resulted from
    and more severe shocks. electrical accident;-
    - Incorrect wiring practices
    - Power drills use 30 times as much current
    - Overhead power lines - Deep burn caused by high tension voltage
    as what will kill.
    - Improper grounding - Ear damage and memory loss resulted from
    - Currents passed across the chest are very
    explosion (by arc blast)
    dangerous and can cause immediate death. - Working in wet condition

    Dos Don’ts
    - WATER and ELECTRICITY do not mix – Keep cable and - Do not extinguish electrical fire with water.
    equipment dry. Use appropriate PPE to prevent electrocution.
    - Do not tie the cable on metal scaffold or steel structure
    - Ensure cables are laid properly in a location where it will without protection.
    not be easily damaged and cause electrocution.
    - Do not carry the tool from the cord and never yank the cord
    - Join cable with proper connection but not insulation tape to disconnect it from the receptacle.

    - Use only tools and cables that are free from defects. - Do not overload by plugging too many appliances into one
    outlet.
    - Always use Socket Outlet Assembly (SOA) for electrical
    tools and ensure ELCBs are in good working condition. - Do not reset the circuit breaker without checking the fault.
    REMEMBER! ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE INJURY AND DEATH
