4. Quick Assessment
Use the table to make quick assessment of installations :
At your arrival
When renting a new place
Available on kitlog online
Useful to do a quick assessment
of the 5 essential safety rules
If the building is noted :
0 to 3 / 10 : Building need emergency works, HQ advisor must be notified
4 to 7 / 10 : Works are to be planned. It is necessary to plan adapted budgets to perform it during the next 6 months
8 to 10 / 10 : The building is at minimum standard level. You can plan small works to improve user’s safety conditions

5. No possibilty of direct contact = 1 pt
Basic safety rule #1
No possibilty of direct contact = 1 pt
That happens especially with detached switches and outlets, when an equipment is removed and not replaced, on bad connection of two wires
If you notice nude wires or any possibility of direct contact, you have to make works to avoid them

6. Basic safety rule #1
As a vehicle, an electrical installation need a maintenance
That must be planned and budgeted :
City apartment
300 à 500 €
Individual building
1000 €
Isolated Compound
1500 €
16 septembre 2018

7. Basic safety rule #2 No electricity more close than 1,5 m from water
No wire, socket, switch or electrical equipment of any kind
That concerns bathrooms, kitchens, any room with tap, …
And also water dispensor !
Because of possible leackage
Water
Computer
UPS
Photocopier

8. Do not wait the incident or somebody obliges you to do it !
Basic safety rule #2
Whatever skills or countries, a local electrician is able to create a new socket outlet and to disconnect and seal the old one.
Do not wait the incident
or somebody obliges you to do it !
=> Remove these items from water immediately

9. Electrical panel (switch board) = 3pts
Basic safety rule #3
Electrical panel (switch board) = 3pts
Building must have an electrical switch board => 1pt
Correctly fixed, without signs of burn => 1pt
With adapted protections => 1pt
1pt
2pt
3pt

10. All equipement must be protected by circuit breaker or fuses
Basic safety rule #3
All equipement must be protected
by circuit breaker or fuses
If you don’t have any circuit-breaker or fuses on your building, your situation is an emergency. You have to contact an electrician to make works, or the HQ referent at least
If you have, make a test : switch all them off and verify if some equipment still supplied. If yes, that means that they are not protected. You have to contact an electrician to make works

11. Basic safety rule #4
Size of cables = 1 pt
16 septembre 2018

12. Wires have to respect minimum standard sizes
Basic safety rule #4
Wires have to respect minimum standard sizes
An under-sized cable if hot, and can burn. If you don’t have any electrical notion, but you touch a wire and you feel it is hot, it is not normal ! and you have to change it.
That mainly happens with heavy equipment (boilers, heaters, air conditioning, …), with long wires, and with overload multi-plugs.
Wire undersized is the first cause of fire starts !
Please refer to electrical and saftey guidelines
to choose the size of wires.

13. Basic safety rule #5 Equipment using water or made of a steel frame
must be connect to the earth = 2 pts
To verify it, you can buy an outlet tester =>
If you don’t have earth connection on
heavy equipment and equipment with
steel frame, you must contact an electrician to install it.
Be careful if you want to verify it without tester : to have an earth cable in you socket outlet don’t mean that this cable is connecter to this earth.
If you don’t have earth connection on your building, the minimum protection you can install is a differential circuit breaker

14. Basic safety rule #General
If you have any doubt, don’t touch…
…and ask a local electrician or the HQ
Most of the time, send a picture will be enough to :
Identify and evaluate the problem
Explain what works to do and how
Plan incoming costs, …
To not care of installation maintenance is like transform maintenance operation in renewal operation
Renewal costs are often heavy and can not be taken in charge by the mission

Keep in mind : A battery need need 4 to 8hr of charging
Obligation to have an emergency power source
Fluctuations
Buld intensity fluctuations, Fluorescent bulds what not works correctly, UPS beeping when bulds still illuminated, …
Small stabilizer on Equipment to protect
Voltage peaks (surges)

0 kVA
6 kVA
12 kVA
Power (1 kVA = 0.8 kW)
3000 to 3600 RPM
1500 to 1800 RPM
Single phase
3-Phase
1 – Evaluate the necessary power => Diagnosis tool on kit log
2 – Check the type of connection to city power and choose the same generator, if not possible
Generator 3-phase with Building Single phase => Works to plan
Generator Single phase with Building 3-Phase => Heavy works to plan
3 – Make it validate before to buy

19. Power Generator Frequent Problems Mainly caused by … Obligations :
Voltage fluctuation
Overload
Overload on one phase (3-phase only)
Alternator regulator problem
Permanent low voltage
Alternator problem
Low voltage shutdown
or High Temperature shutdown
Bad ventilation
Fuel leaks
Bad fuel quality
Obligations :
=> Dispose the logbook next to the generator
=> Stand at attention about fuel consumption
Recommendations :
=> Oil change every 250 hours
=> Heavy maintenance each 2500 to 3000 hours
=> Maximum life length hours with good maintenance

22. Keep in mind Almost nothing can be done without a energy supply :
=> have a proper back-up
Do not forget the maintenance of your equipment and installations
Security and good environment practices are the same everywhere in the world
While buying equipment:
Take time to assess your needs
Take into account total life-cycle cost (fuel, maintenance, disposal…) and not only initial cost
Anticipate your works and costs
