4  Unsafe Act :  Operating without authority  Bypassing safety devices  Use of unsafe tools/tackles  Unsafe loading & placing  Taking unsafe procedure  Working on moving machinery/equipment

5  Unguarded machines  Defective machine  Unsafe design/construction  Improper illumination  Poor house-keeping  Lack of proper tools  Slippery floors  Lack of proper training

6 Example: A Garden Hose Water Moves from High Pressure To Low Pressure Flow of Water The same thing occurs in an Electrical Wire Current Moves from High Voltage To Low Voltage Flow of Current

8 Note: Ground circuits provide a path for stray current to pass directly to the ground, and greatly reduce the amount of current passing through the body of a person in contact with a tool or machine that has an electrical short. Properly installed, the grounding conductor provides protection from electric shock.  Electricity travels in closed circuits, normally through a conductor  Shock results when the body becomes part of the electrical circuit  Current enters the body at one point and leaves at another

9 Current (Amps) Human Reaction 0.001Perception level. Just a faint tingle. 0.005Slight shock felt; not painful but disturbing. Average individual can let go. 0.006-0.025 (Women) Painful shock, muscular control is lost. 0.009-0.030 (Men) This is called the freezing current or "let-go" range. 0.050-0.150Extreme pain, respiratory arrest, severe muscular contractions. 1 - 4.3Ventricular fibrillation. 10Cardiac arrest, severe burns and probable death. Note: some smaller microwave ovens use 10.0 Amps (10,000 milliamps) and common florescent lights use 1 Amp (1,000 milliamps)

10  The most common shock-related injury is a burn. Burns suffered in electrical incidents may be one or more of the following three types: Electrical Burns cause tissue damage, and are the result of heat generated by the flow of electric current through the body. Electrical burns are one of the most serious injuries you can receive and need to receive immediate medical attention. High temperatures near the body produced by an electric arc or explosion cause Arc or Flash Burns (also need prompt medical attention) Thermal Contact Burns occur when skin comes in contact with overheated electric equipment, or when clothing is ignited in an electrical incident.

11  Our bodies use small electrical currents to transmit signals through the nervous system and contract muscles,  Extra electrical current flowing through the body can cause serious damage.  Medical problems can include internal bleeding, tissue destruction, and nerve or muscle damage.  Internal injuries may not be immediately apparent to the victim or observers; however, left untreated, they can result in death

12  Muscles violently contract when stimulated by excessive amounts of electricity  These involuntary contractions can damage muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and may even cause broken bones.  If victim is holding an electrocuting object, hand muscle may contract, making it impossible to drop object Note: injury or death may result from a fall due to muscle contractions.

13  Meaning of Safety : state or condition of freedom from danger or risk  Freedom of persons from injury and property from damage  Electricity a good servant but a very bad master.  May cause instantaneous death, life long disability due to severe burns or devastating fire

14  Basic Legal Framework pre-2003:  (i)Indian Electricity Act, 1910,  (ii)Electricity(Supply) Act,1948  (iii) Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998  Need for harmonizing & rationalizing these three Acts into a self-contained comprehansive legislation

15  Indian Electricity Act,2003 :Intent  To consolidate the laws relating to generation, transmission, disribution,trading and use of electricity  Measures conducive for dev of power Industry & promote competition  Protecting interest of consumers  Rationalization of tariff

16  Section 53: CEA in consultation with State Govt will specify measures :  Protecting the public (including persons engaged in GTD ) from dangers arising from GTD, installation, maintenance  Eliminating or reducing risks of personal injury or damage to property  Conforming to specification in supply/transmission  Notice in case of accidents to Statutory Authrities

17  Section 73(c ) : safety requirements for construction, O&M of power plants & lines.  Section 161 :reporting of accidents and inquiry thereof  Section 185(2) (C ): I.E.Rules,1956 shall continue to be in force till regulation under Sec 53 of this Act are made.

18  Basic principle of safety at every installation phases :  Design/manufacture components, equipment  Construction, Installation & commissioning  O&M  Rule 44 : Instructions – restoration of persons suffering from electrical shock

19  Rule 44-A: Intimation of Accident : Accident to human being/animal to be reported within 24 hours  Written report within 48 hours to the Electrical Inspector and Collector & DM.

20  Sec 3:Employer’s liability to pay compensation to employees who has sustained injury arising in course of or out of employment as per the statutory provisions  Eligibility : is the injured person an employee?  Whether the emp was disabled( total or partial) for more than 72 hours  Injury in course or out of employment

21  Quantum of Comp :  Death : 50% of the wages x multiplying factor or Rs 1.20 lakhs whichever is higher  Permanent total disablement : 60% of wages x the multiplying factor or Rs 1.40 lakhs whichever is higher  Permanent partial disablement : % loss of earning capacity

22  Sec-8:Distribution of Comp: Comp amount as per provision to be deposited with Empl Comp Commissioner, ALC/DLC/JLC, within one month from when it is due.  Sec 10-A: Info on fatal accident : Information in the prescribed form to Comp Commissioner and Factory Inspector under the Factories Act 1948

23 Handle Electircity with Care & Caution
