Electrical Construction Safety: It’s Everyone’s Responsibility By Marisol Pappas Improper application of or inadequate electrical construction safety measures can cause serious workplace hazard. In a construction site, the workers and employees can be exposed to fires, electrocution, shocks, explosions, and a couple of other types of accidents. There are specific standards for the electrical construction safety for that particular industry. Many workplace deaths happen simply because of the ignorance of the laborers about the dangers of electricity present in their work environment. It’s vital to learn about the electrical hazards and their solutions to decrease the death rate and the number of accidents. Electrical Construction Safety Hazards and Solutions The electrical accidents in the constructions sites happen because of some factors - insecure environment, faulty equipment and their improper installation, and risky work practices. Exposed Electrical Parts Keeping high-voltage electrical parts is a risky business because just a touch can cause serious shocks and sometimes death too. The simple preventive measures that you can take are replacing covers, using guards or barriers, protect the conductors, and close the unused openings. The pull boxes, junction boxes, and fittings must have covers. It’s your job to ensure that all the live electrical parts operating at 50 volts or more are properly sealed, shielded, or isolated from general traffic. Overhead Power Lines The electrical construction safety can be violated if these are torn or broken away for any reason. These lines often carry a high voltage of electricity. For this reason, they should be kept away from high traffic areas, and watery places because torn energized wires will electrify the water and cause a fatality on a large scale. Such installations should have warning signs in the vicinity. The electrical contractor working with power lines need to have specialized training and personal protective equipment. Apart from the electrical tools, other equipment used for this purpose should be made of wood or fiberglass. Faulty and Damaged Cords Most of the times accident happen because of the partly exposed live wires. They miss the rubber SPECIAL LOS ANGELES SHOW EDITION 2019 41
