If you ever worried about the safety of workers and electrical workers under your care around electricity… whether at a construction site, workplace or generally… then this is the most important information you will ever read.

FROM: Peter Pidwarko – please read every word

Dear Friend

If you ever wondered how the simple Electrical Safety Training Secrets and what I’m about to tell you could be the most important message you have ever read.

Here’s why …

There have been more electrical fatalities throughout the World from low voltage shocks than from contact with high voltage conductors. 

While not especially dangerous to the average person, extra low voltages below 50 volts can also cause shocks and be hazardous to a susceptible person.

How do I know this?

“I have been in the electrical industry for over 30 years with over 15 years Managing Electrical and Non-Electrical Workers”.

Here are the facts:

Electrical Shock and its Consequences:
The severity of electrical shock depends on:

  • Shock current taken by the victim.
  • Time of contact with the live equipment.
  • Path of current flow through the victim.
  • Body resistance.

Shock current and its effect:
Various researches throughout the world have established the following figures as being factual:
1-3 milliamps               -        can be felt.
10-15 milliamps           -        hard to let go.
25-30 milliamps           -        chest muscles contract; unable to breathe.
Above 50 milliamps     -        heart affected; flutters and does not pump (fibrillation)
Above 5 amps            -         current paralyses nerve centers in heart, is clamped, and resumes pumping when current removed.
Note:  A current as low as 20 milliamps can cause death.

Time for fibrillation to occur:
The time of contact before fibrillation occurs is related to the cardiac cycle of the heart and is as shown below:

Milliamps
Time in Seconds for Fibrillation to Occur
25
-
5.75
30
-
4.0
50
-
1.45
100
-
0.36
190
-
0.1

These figures were established by an international body of experts at a Geneva meeting in 1961 and still relevant.

Path of current flow in body:
The most critical path of current flow through the body is where the heart is in the path of this flow.
NOTES:
The above figures are for contact from hand to hand, hand to food or head to foot, where the current path passes the heart and respiratory centers.  Contact from foot to foot or other areas not involving the heart is less severe.

Body resistance:
It has been found from post mortem research that for 50 cycles the resistance figures are constant under the skin through fat and tissue, at about 600 OHMS.  The resistance of the skin varies from person to person, and depends on the moisture and condition of the skin.
It can be as high as 2,000 OHMS, and the accepted minimum figure is 500 OHMS from hand to hand or for a body in a conducting fluid about 200 OHMS.  For instance, on a 250 volt system the minimum current taken by a person would be 480 milliamps.  This is well above the acceptable limit.
NOTES:
The above figures have been taken from persons with a normal heart.  Any heart abnormality would considerably increase the effects as noted above.

Voltage:
The voltages generally encountered on projects are as described in countries standards and are listed below:
Extra Low Voltage        -        Not exceeding 50 volts AC or 120 volts ripple-free DC
Low Voltage                 -        Exceeding ELV but not exceeding 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC.
High Voltage                 -        Exceeding LV (not covered in this e-book)
NOTES:
Work on “live” conductors at these voltages must be taken very seriously.  There have been more electrical fatalities throughout the World from low voltage shocks than from contact with high voltage conductors. 
While not especially dangerous to the average person, voltages below 50 volts can also cause shocks and be hazardous to a susceptible person.  To attempt to control these risks, some jurisdictions in your country, state or county have recently introduced new legislation, which places more stringent requirements for working on low voltage.  Local Legislations and Regulations must be referred to at all times.

Now I’ve got to tell you something …

I have seen electrical accidents that have caused permanent damage to my workmates and it’s not a pretty sight.

So if you have ever had the same experience as I, then maybe you know how it feels.

I am worried that there are still large, medium, small businesses and workers out there who do not take the safety and well being for themselves and of their fellow workers seriously, especially working with and around electricity.

Well I’ve done something about it …

Here’s what I have done … I have created this e-book because there is a need for a collection of information on Electrical Safety Management Systems that gives Electrical Engineering and Electrical Service and Contracting Business Owners, Managers, Supervisors and Electrical Workers proven systems working towards a safe working environment with zero injury tolerance.

Les writes

I am a business owner with an Electrical Contracting Business and it is mandatory that I have an electrical safety management system in place because of the high risk nature of the business and have used the information Peter has provided over the last several years.

These documents, processes and procedures cover all aspects of the business from on the job daily risk assessments through proven safe work methods working with and around electricity,  to final electrical testing, just makes a complete system.

My electrical workers need to have proven systems to work with so they do not go off in a tangent as the system gives them a step by step process with check points throughout so they do not miss anything.

I know my workers will go home every afternoon to their families in the same condition as when they started work helps me sleep well at night knowing I have provided a safe and healthy working environment and able to ensure they are also doing the right thing using the systems checks and audits that help complete the checks and balances.

The system is worth more than its weight in gold and anyone who is commissioned to have people under their care within a high risk business must have a system and recommend they implement a system like this one before its too late.

Thanks for everything Peter.
