Electrical Safety
Electrical hazards can cause burns, shocks and
electrocution (death)
Safety Tips
• Assume that all overhead wires are energized at
lethal voltages. Never assume that a wire is safe to
touch even if it is down or appears to be insulated.
• Never touch a fallen overhead power line. Call the
electric utility company to report fallen electrical
lines.
• Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from overhead
wires during cleanup and other activities. If working
at heights or handling long objects, survey the area
before starting work for the presence of overhead
wires.
• If an overhead wire falls across your vehicle while
you are driving, stay inside the vehicle and continue
to drive away from the line. If the engine stalls,
do not leave your vehicle. Warn people not to
touch the vehicle or the wire. Call or ask someone
to call the local electric utility company and emergency
services.
• Never operate electrical equipment while you are
standing in water.
• Never repair electrical cords or equipment unless
qualified and authorized.
• Have a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment
that has gotten wet before energizing it.
• If working in damp locations, inspect electric cords
and equipment to ensure that they are in good condition
and free of defects, and use a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Always use caution when working near electricity.

There are many reasons why hazard identification has to be updated. Ideally, hazard identification or hazard recognition is done before unwanted events such as injury and illness health occurs, because there is still enough time to improve the hazard control.

Here are some reasons why we need to update hazard identification list.

1. Because we have mentioned updating period in the hazard identification procedure. This is a regular updates. It is the time to evaluate if we had missed a hazard to be identified during the previous hazard identification period.
2. A new job, task or activity is introduced.
3. The existing process conditions will be changed.
4. Current standard operating procedures need to be altered.
5. We plan to modify plant facility or plant layout.
6. A new equipment or machine will be installed in the plant site.
7. When new safety equipment is introduced.
8. Chemical, catalyst or fuel replacement.
9. When a new product will be produced.
10. Plant expansion project is scheduled.
11. After an incident or accident occurrence.
12. When a neighbor plant will be built near our chemical plant. It is especially associated with emergency condition, such fire accident or explosion.
13. As a result of safety audit, safety inspection, safety patrol or self-inspection system.

To make an update, follow my previous post about hazard identification/recognition method. Hazard identification update has to be implemented in the whole workplace area in the plant site. Don’t forget to include contractors and visitor activities in the plant site, non-routine jobs and hazards caused by human factors when we are going to do hazard identification.

Always bear in mind that we have to be a step ahead from the potential hazard and immediately set up appropriate hazard control to manage the risks. Hazard identification is an ongoing process.
