  1. Slide 1

    MODULE 10

    • Electrical Standards
  2. Slide 2

    Hazard Brainstorming

    • Where are electrical hazards on oil and gas well sites?
  3. Slide 3

    Statistics

    • Electrocution: Among most frequent causes of occupational injury death in US
    • 295 fatalities/year; 4309 lost time
    • 1992-2002: 9% decrease
    • Most frequent cause: Overhead power lines
  4. Slide 4

    Factors in Fatal Electrocutions

    • Safe work practices implemented and followed?
    • Adequate/required PPE provided and worn?
    • Lockout/tagout procedures implemented and followed?
    • OSHA, NEC, NESC compliance?
    • Worker and supervisor training adequate?
    • (from NIOSH)
  5. Slide 5

    Types of Electrical Injuries

    • Electrocution (death due to electrical shock)
    • Electrical shock
    • Burns (ugly pictures here)
    • Falls
  6. Slide 6

    Hazard Recognition

    • How can you sense electrical danger?
    • Cannot see, smell, taste, or hear danger
    • Can recognize unsafe conditions
  7. Slide 7

    Electrical Terminology

    • Current – movement of electrical charge
    • Resistance – opposition to current flow
    • Voltage – measure of electrical force
    • Conductors – substances with little resistance to electricity (such as metals)
    • Insulators – substances with high resistance to electricity (such as wood, rubber, glass, & bakelite)
    • Grounding – a conductive connection to the earth (which acts as a protective measure)
  8. Slide 8

    Electrical Shock

    • Received when current passes through body
    • Severity depends on:
    • Path of current through body
    • Amount of current flowing through body
    • Length of time body is in circuit
    • Also: voltage, moisture, heart cycle, health
    • Low voltage is NOT low hazard!
  9. Slide 9

    Dangers of Electrical Shock

    • Currents >75 mA* can cause ventricular fibrillation (rapid, ineffective heartbeat)
    • mA = milliampere = 1/1,000 of an ampere
    • Death within minutes unless a defibrillator is used
    • 75 mA is not much current
    • (a small power drill uses 30 times as much)
  10. Slide 10

    Effects of Current on Body

    • 1 mA: Perception level, slight tingling.
    • 5 mA: Slight shock; not painful.
    • Can usually let go.
    • Involuntary reactions can cause injuries.
    • 6-30 mA: Painful shock
    • Muscular control lost
    • Freezing current or “let-go” range
  11. Slide 11

    Effects of Current on Body

    • 50-150 mA: Extreme pain
    • Respiratory arrest; cannot let go
    • Death possible
    • 1000-4300 mA: Ventricular fibrillation
    • Muscular contraction; nerve damage
    • Death likely
    • 10000 mA: Cardiac arrest
    • Severe burns, probable death
  12. Slide 12

    How Shock Happens

    • Connection between:
    • 2 wires of energized circuit
    • 1 wire of energized circuit and ground
    • Metallic part in contact with energized wire and ground

    • Overheating
    • Risk of fire or short circuit
    • Fuse acts as sacrificial weak link
    • Fuse too strong?
    • Other parts of the system break first
    • Wire Gauge
    • WIRE
