Insulation

StarStarStarStar

Insulation resists electrical current, protecting the wiring and preventing electrical shocks to individuals who may come into contact with the wires.

StarStarStarStar

Earthing

StarStarStarStar

Earthing provides a path for excess charge to safely enter the ground, thus protecting against electrical surges that can lead to equipment damage or electric shock.

StarStarStarStar

Fuse

StarStarStarStar

A fuse has a metal wire that melts when the current exceeds a certain level, breaking the circuit and preventing overheating and fires.

StarStarStarStar

Safety Signs and Labels

StarStarStarStar

These warn of electrical hazards and advise on proper procedures, helping to prevent accidents through increased awareness and caution.

StarStarStarStar

Electrical Safety Training

StarStarStarStar

Safety training educates individuals about hazards and proper handling of electrical equipment, minimizing the risk of accidents and injury.

StarStarStarStar

Residual Current Device (RCD)

StarStarStarStar

An RCD is similar to a GFCI and disconnects the circuit when it detects a small stray voltage on the metal enclosures of electrical equipment, preventing electric shock.

StarStarStarStar

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

StarStarStarStar

A GFCI cuts off electricity when it detects an imbalance between the incoming and outgoing current. This helps to prevent electric shocks.

StarStarStarStar

Lockout-Tagout Procedures

StarStarStarStar

Lockout-Tagout procedures ensure that electrical equipment is properly shut down and inoperable during maintenance, protecting workers from unexpected energization.

StarStarStarStar

Flame-Retardant Materials

StarStarStarStar

Using flame-retardant materials in electrical components decreases the risk of fire by preventing ignition or slowing down the spread of fire.

StarStarStarStar

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

StarStarStarStar

PPE such as insulated gloves and protective clothing prevents direct contact with electricity, reducing the risk of electrical burns and shocks.

StarStarStarStar

Circuit Breaker

StarStarStarStar

A circuit breaker automatically stops the flow of electricity when it detects an overload or short circuit, preventing fires and equipment damage.

StarStarStarStar

Electrical Matting

StarStarStarStar

Rubber matting provides insulation from the ground and reduces the risk of electric shock for operators working with high voltage equipment.
