CPE 045 (6 & 7) Flashcards
(25 cards)
A dangerous condition where a worker can or does an electrical contact with energized equipment or a conductor.
Electrical Hazard
Common Electrical Injuries
Electrical Shock, Electrocution (Death due to electrical shock), Burns, Falls
3 - Basic Pathways Electricity travels through the body
Touch Potential
Step Potential
Touch Step Potential
Hand –> Hand Path
Touch Potential
Foot –> Foot Path
Step Potential
Hand –> Foot Path or Voce Versa
Touch Step Potential
can be defined as the flow of electrons along a conductor
Electricity
usually contains a power source and an electrical load
electrical circuit
Elements of electricity
Voltage
Resistance
Current
is a common hazard encountered by people involved in the installation, maintenance, and operation of electrical equipment
Electrical shock
the maximum current that a person can tolerate when holding a conductor and can still free himself/herself by muscular stimulation.
Let go current
It is a condition wherein the heart will not pulse regularly causing the heart to cease functioning
Ventricular fibrillation
locations where flammable gases or vapors are present or likely to become present.
Class I
applies to combustible dusts
Class II
locations are those where easily ignitable dust such as textile fibers are present but not likely to be suspended in the air in sufficient concentration to produce an easily ignitable atmosphere.
Class III
works by detecting any loss of electrical current in a
circuit.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
are areas where explosive or flammable gases or vapors, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers are present or likely to become present.
Hazardous Locations
is an effective system for controlling accidents in servicing and maintenance of machines
Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO)
Occurs at the point of operation where the actual work is performed and can be created by; components that transmits energy and other parts which move while the machine is working
Machine Hazard
Hazardous Mechanical Motions
Rotating
Reciprocating
Transversing
In-Running Nip Points
Hazardous Mechanical Actions
Cutting
Punching
Shearing
Bending
that point where work is performed on the material, such as cutting, shaping, boring, or forming of stock.
The point of operation
all components of the mechanical system which transmit energy to the part of the machine performing the work.
Power transmission apparatus
all parts of the machine which moves while the machine is working. These can include
reciprocating, rotating, and transverse moving parts, as well as feed mechanism and auxiliary parts of the machine.
Other moving parts
