Book Synopsis Electrical Safety and the Law by : John M Madden
Download or read book Electrical Safety and the Law written by John M Madden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrical Safety and the Law describes the hazards and risks from the use of electricity, explaining with the help of case studies and accident statistics the types of accidents that occur and how they can be prevented by the use of safe installations, equipment and working practices. It describes the British legislation on the safety of electrical systems and electrotechnical machinery control systems, much of which stems from European Directives and which will therefore be affected by the UK’s decision to leave the EU (Brexit), and the main standards and guidance that can be used to secure compliance with the law. There are detailed descriptions covering the risks and preventive measures associated with electrical installations, construction sites, work near underground cables and overhead power lines, electrical equipment and installations in explosive atmospheres, electrical testing and electrotechnical control systems. Duty holders’ responsibilities for designing, installing, and maintaining safe systems are explained, as well as their responsibilities for employing competent staff. The fifth edition has been substantially updated to take account of considerable changes to the law, standards and guidance; it has been expanded to include: a new chapter on the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act; a new chapter describing landlords’ legal responsibilities for electrical safety in private rented properties and social housing; a new chapter on the Electricity Safety Quality and Continuity Regulations; new information on offences, penalties, sentencing guidelines, and relevant case law; a description of the main requirements of BS 7671:2008 and other principal standards, many of which have been amended in recent years; new cases studies to illustrate the hazards and risks; information on changes to GB’s health and safety system.
Book Synopsis Occupational Injuries From Electrical Shock and Arc Flash Events by : Richard B. Campbell
Download or read book Occupational Injuries From Electrical Shock and Arc Flash Events written by Richard B. Campbell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief presents information on occupational injuries from electric shock and arc flash events through a review of literature, electrical incident data, and similar sources. It includes pertinent information such as the nature of the incident, adherence to safety requirements, use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and extent of injury. Chapters address arc flash and shock hazards, and the need for empirical incident data on the actual hazards that may be experienced when equipment faults or adverse electrical events occur. Certain tasks where the risk of an arc flash or shock hazard may be lower, such as normal operation of properly installed and maintained equipment, may not require the use of any special PPE. Some of this risk reduction is based on anecdotal data, and the brief details why future research challenges will need more empirical incident data on the actual hazards and associated injuries that may be experienced when equipment faults or adverse electrical events occur. Designed for professionals and researchers in fire protection engineering, workplace electrical tasks, or workplace safety, this brief offers a thorough overview of the trends in electrical injuries and the costs related to those injuries.

Book excerpt: We live in an electrified society. Most of our modern devices, instruments, and appliances at work, at home, and for leisure are electricity powered either through electrical utilities, and/or through the use of batteries. Electrical safety is not just important for electricians and electrical workers; it is also important for faculty, staff and students who work with electrically powered devices or who are engaged in activities that may result in electrical hazards. Electrical accidents are proportionately severe and costly. The number of accidents reported to the authorities has no longer decreased during the past decade. Also, electrical accidents are not as rare as statistics imply as many minor accidents remain unreported. Current measures to increase electrical safety are not effective enough. In order to decrease the number of electrical accidents, there is a need for more information about electrical accident risks at the operative level. According to accident investigation reports, most electrical accidents occur because certain safety procedures are not carried out prior to work. Still, there is little information as to the reasons why these safety procedures are omitted, and what other significant electrical accident risks electrical professionals currently face.Electric Safety: Practice and Standards is a compendium delivering revolutionary information on practical cases to cover material directly related to industry practice and standards, including examples drawn from real-world cases and studies and develop techniques to assess safety practices at worksites and provide remedies to correct safety problems. It specifically addresses working in restricted areas; working near exposed energized overhead lines or parts; operating equipment near radio and microwave transmission towers; working on electrical equipment and systems; personal protective grounding; temporary wiring; disconnect and over current protection; ground-fault protection; and hazardous locations. It reveals innovative information about electrical professionals' electrical accident risks that can be utilized in the prevention of electrical accidents and promotion of electrical safety. This book is intended to provide electrical safety principles and best practices for students and practicing engineers in the course of work, research and academic activities where electrical hazards exist.
