Risk management in electrical works

Electrical work carries many risks that require caution and adherence to strict safety procedures. Here is a guide to safety risks in electrical work, management methods, and solutions:

Identifying risks in electrical work

1. Electric shock :
   • Exposure to high or low voltage may cause electric shock.
   • Touching exposed wires or improperly insulated equipment.
2. Electrical short circuits and fires :
   • Improper connection of wires or excessive loads can cause short circuits and fires.
   • Faulty or old electrical equipment.
3. Mechanical damage :
   • Using sharp or heavy tools may cause injuries.
   • Working at height can cause falls.
4. Exposure to hazardous substances :
   • Working with batteries or other chemicals can result in exposure to hazardous substances.
   • Exposure to toxic fumes or gases when working in enclosed spaces.

Risk management in electrical work

1. Guidance and training :
   • Providing regular training to employees on safety issues in electrical work.
   • Gaining knowledge about safe work procedures and using appropriate equipment.
2. Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) :
   • Insulated gloves, work shoes with insulated soles, and safety glasses.
   • Insulated work clothes to protect the body.
3. Safe work procedures :
   • Turn off and disconnect the power before starting work.
   • Use only insulated tools and standard equipment.
   • Performing periodic inspections of electrical systems to identify possible faults.
4. Proper work planning :
   • Pre-planning of the work includes identifying and assessing risk points.
   • Use of up-to-date electrical diagrams and approval of work plans.

Solutions for reducing risks in electrical work

1. Safety equipment installation :
   • Use of circuit breakers to protect against overloads and short circuits.
   • Safety at work
