Q

What procedure would be followed in the event of an electric shock?

A

1) LVA
2) Isolate supply either by switching fuses or breakers
3) If 2 is not possible use a safety hook/insulative PPE to move the causality away from the source of the current
4) Check for response
5) Check their airways are open
6) Check that the causality is breathing
7) Call for help (Notify the HQ1)
8) Start CPR

Q

What hazards are associated with Selenium Rectifiers?

A

They contain selenium dust which is toxic.

Care should be taken to prevent its inhalation or ingestion

19
Q

What is Lotoxane?

A

Lotoxane is the only cleaning agent used on RN ships for electrical equipment

20
Q

What hazards are associated with lotoxane and what mitigating precautions should be taken when using?

A

It has a low flash point.

It should not be sprayed on live equipment or hot surfaces
The user should wear gloves
It should be used in well ventilated areas

21
Q

What PPE should be worn when working in the galley?

A

DMS Boots
Coveralls or No. 4’s with sleeves rolled down
Chefs Hat

22
Q

When would you work on LIVE electrical equipment?

A

NEVER ON HV.

Only when there is no alternative

23
Q

What is required when working on live electrical equipment?

A

Must be approved by the MEO
Must be supervised by an ME senior rate
Appropriate measure taken to prevent shock (PPE, Standing on a thick rubber mat, having a safety number

24
Q

What precautions can be taken when working on LIVE electrical equipment?

A 
Stand on rubber mating 
Wear rubber gloves
Wear insulating boot covers
Use insulated tools 
Avoid leaning on bulkheads
Be aware of the voltages present 
Take care not to cause short circuits with tools
Don't take unnecessary risks
Don't rely on interlocks or other safety devices
25
What is the procedure for working on DEAD electrical equipment?
1) Isolate the equipment and carry out LOTO 2) Prove the circuit is dead by using GPTME (test between phases and between phase and earth, looking for a 0V reading) 3) Discharge any capacitors using GPTME set to voltage shorting across the terminals until V reads 0 4) Fit the required shorting straps to prevent the capacitors recharging
26
What are the 4 parts (Paper work) of LOTO?
LOTO Index sheet LOTO safety certificate Red LOTO label LOTO display board
27
Where does part B of a LOTO label go?
On the LOTO display board
28
What would you need to find from the LOTO index sheet
The next sequential LOTO serial number
29
What are the 8 stages for the APPLICATION of LOTO?
1) Obtain permission 2) Identify all isolation points 3) Inform the user 4) Fill out the LOTO index sheet (LOTO log sec. 3) and collect the safety certificate serial number 5) Complete the relevant sections of the LOTO safety certificate 6) Complete LOTO log parts A, B and C 7) Ensuring the circuit is switched off, the isolation switches/breakers are open. Remove the fuses. Replace the empty fuse holder with "part A" attached 8) Place part B in the LOTO Board and Part C on the fuses in the fuse board
30
What is the correct procedure for REMOVING a fuse?
Ensure the load is removed With a finger in the centre of the fuse casing. Use a fuse key to slacken the screws and then fully loosen the screws Looking away (in case of arch flash), smartly remove the fuse Remove the fuse from the fuse housing Replace the fuse housing to maintain a dead front and attach part A of the LOTO label to the front
31
What is the correct procedure for REPLACING a fuse?
Remove one empty fuse holder from the fuse way Using a piece of GPTME (set to V) across the empty fuse way check for dead (0V) - If voltage indicated do not replace the fuse Using a correctly rated fuse, replace the fuse into the empty casing Averting eye locate the fuse carrier smartly onto the bus bars Whilst holding the carrier in place tighten with a fuse using a fuse key
32
What is HV?
High Voltage 1000V AC 1500V DC
33
What are the 3 specific terms used to describe the ships state in terms of HV?
HV Live HV Dead HV Safe
34
What does a ship being HV Live mean?
Its capable of generating HV Its generating HV Its connected to a HV Shore supply
35
What does a ship being HV dead mean?
The ship cannot generate, distribute or receive HV All sources of HV are disconnected and isolated The circuit main earth is applied
36
What does a HV safe mean?
This refers to an area not the entire platform The area is safe to enter The HV power source is disconnected The HV decay period has been elapsed
37
Who is a competent person in regards to HV?
A person who has sufficient technical knowledge or experience to enable the person to avoid danger from electrical hazards.
38
What documentation would be needed to control HV?
Permit to work (PTW) Sanction for test (SFT) Limitation of Access (LOA) Switching Schedule (SS)
39
What does arch flash cause?
- Heat up to 20,000oC - Plasma Discharge - Very intense, blinding light - Pressure wave - Vaporized copper expands 67,000 times - Shrapnel - molten copper, insulation, pieces of switchboard - Sound 140-165 db. (permanent hearing damage) - Smoke
40
Where can arch flash occur?
At a breaker or at the fuse
41
What is the procedure for REMOVING LOTO?
1) Obtain permission to remove 2) Sign the LOTO certificate for the remove of LOTO request 3) Collect the right fuses and part B And C of the the LOTO label 4) Ensure the circuit isolation switches are open 5) Remove Part A and empty fuse holder, test across the fuse way for 0V, if dead replace fuse 6) Return all 3 parts of the LOTO labels to approving senior rate 7) Sign the LOTO safety certificate for LOTO removal and closure 8) Close LOTO index sheet entry (date and sign) 9) Destroy all LOTO labels, Transfer LOTO safety certificate to sec. 6 of Log
42
What are the 6 main causes of accidents?
``` Over familiarisation Lack of skill or ignorance Laziness or fatigue Preoccupation Physical Hazards Horseplay ```
43
When would additional testing for DEAD be done?
1) When there has been a break from work 2) When handing over to other personal 3) If inspections are required.
