The most versatile form of energy
Electrical
Can cause an electrical accident
overloading
which is a secondary effect of electrical hazards
falls
which is the best conductor
silver
which is not a factor affecting electric shock
quality/brand of device
at __ma of current (minimum amount) through the body, ventricular fibrillation is certain and thus fatal
100 mA
The safe “let-go” current which may cause a secondary accident is __ to __mA
5 to 16
A fast-acting circuit device which senses small imbalances in the circuit caused by current leakage to ground and, in a fraction of a second, shuts off the electricity
fuse
these are calibrated conductors which will melt and break open the electrical circuit when too much current flows through them. this stops the flow of electricity before any problem can develop
look out device
Can be securely fastened to an energy isolating device in accordance with an established procedure to indicate that the energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled can not be operated until the tag is removed.
tagout device
in case of an electrical accident, on must
immediately turn off the electrical power sourfce
