Safety First Aid Group Electrical Safety Poster, Laminated (A2)

Product Information

One way of demonstrating technical competence for general electrical work is to complete an electrical apprenticeship, with some post-apprenticeship experience. Ensure any electrical equipment brought into the workplace by workers, or any hired or borrowed, is suitable for use before using it and remains suitable by being maintained as necessary Indirect: this includes damages that are caused by the electricity affecting something else which then affects the individual, such as falling and explosions Always assume there will be underground cables when digging in the street, pavement and/or near buildings

Be aware of the dangers of working near or underneath overhead power lines. Electricity can flash over from them, even though machinery or equipment may not touch them Our Electrical Safety Poster contains quality graphics and clear messaging that covers the following: Repairs should only be carried out by a competent person .This is someone who has the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to carry out the work safely.Consider using a residual current device (RCD) between the electrical supply and the equipment, especially when working outdoors, or within a wet or confined place Always use the correct size fuse. Replacing a fuse with one of a larger size can cause excessive currents in the wiring and possibly start a fire.

All electrical systems have the potential to cause harm. Electricity can be either "static" or "dynamic." Dynamic electricity is the uniform motion of electrons through a conductor (this is known as electric current). Conductors are materials that allow the movement of electricity through it. Most metals are conductors. The human body is also a conductor. This document is about dynamic electricity. Use a portable in-line Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) if you are not certain that the receptacle you are plugging your extension cord into is GFCI protected. You must make sure electrical equipment and installations are maintained to prevent danger, so far as reasonably practicable. This means balancing the level of risk against the measures needed to control the real risk in terms of money, time or trouble. This resource, perfect for KS2 and all students, includes a lovely set of display posters showing your children how to stay safe around electricity. Consider whether electrical equipment, including portable appliances, should be more formally inspected or tested by a competent person. Also think about the intervals at which this should be done.Test all tools for effective grounding with a continuity tester or a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) before use. The electrical safety poster is well-presented with simple bullet points, clear illustrations, and user-friendly text for more effective communication. People are injured when they become part of the electrical circuit. Humans are more conductive than the earth (the ground we stand on) which means if there is no other easy path, electricity will try to flow through our bodies. Wait for the electrical utility to come and they will tell you when it is safe to get out of your vehicle.
