SAFETY AROUND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT & APPLIANCESPresented by Peter Rosewarne of the SRK ZA Cape Town Office Within a space of a week there were two accidents with fatalities reported in the Cape Town press involving unexpected activation of equipment whilst workers were carrying out maintenance. In an SRK office kitchen incident, someone recently inserted a metal knife into a live toaster to retrieve a piece of stuck toast, thereby risking becomingtoast themselves. Lessons to be learned from these incidents for the work site, office and home: • • Always disconnect electrical equipment before performing any maintenance work or attempting to fix problems Ensure that equipment so disabled cannot suddenly become live again: o Alert fellow workers or family members to what is going on o Use lock-out, tag-out procedures to prevent others frominadvertently switching on disabled equipment, with possibly fatal consequences o Assign a colleague to “man” the control area for power if it is remote from where you are working Make sure live cables and/or equipment are clearly marked if power cannot be switched-off to work area Carry out a risk assessment so that potentially dangerous situations can be identified and mitigated
Safety is vital tothe ultimate success of our business. Remember that no job is so important that we cannot take the time to complete it safely.
