Foot Protection

12/10/2010 by 2 Comments

Employees working in areas where there are electrical hazards shall be provided with, and shall use, protective equipment that is designed and constructed for the specific part of the body to be protected and for the work to be performed.

For electrical or maintenance persons,safety shoes is the one of important PPE ( personal protective equipment ) to avoid from serious injury such as electric shock.Please ensure our safety shoes suitable with electrical works because not all safety shoes have a ELECTRICAL HAZARD PROTECTION ( EH ).

Where insulated safety shoes is used as protection against step and touch potential, dielectric overshoes shall be required.It also protect from impact, compression, and puncture are the most common types of foot injury. read more

Grounding resistance measurement

04/10/2010 by 2 Comments

Grounding or Earthing is the compulsory device for electrical installation.It’s the end point for electrical residue when leakage happen on electrical circuit or installation.

Good grounding can make a different of current balancing in phase during electrical leakage and Residual Current Circuit Breaker will activate if current leakage value over the sensitivity.( 10 mA,100 mA,30 mA,300 mA).

To get a good grounding,we should make sure the resistance is minimum.For the best resistance value is “0 ohm” or less than 5 ohm.That why grounding resistance measurement is important because we need to ensure our grounding is good. read more

Working On or Near Electrical Conductors or Circuit Parts

Safety-related work practices shall be used to safeguard employees from injury while they are working on or near exposed electric conductors or circuit parts that are or can become energized.

The specific safety-related work practice shall be consistent with the nature and extent of the associated electric hazards.

Live parts to which an employee might be exposed shall be put into an electrically safe work condition before an employee works on or near them, unless the employer can demonstrate that de-energizing introduces additional or increased hazards or is infeasible due to equipment design or operational limitation.

An electrically safe work condition shall be achieved when performed in accordance with the procedures and verified by the following process:- read more
