Safety in Temporary Electrical Installations: Presentation On

This presentation discusses safety in temporary electrical installations. It defines electricity as the flow of electrons between atoms and defines current as the rate of flow of electricity. It identifies human error, equipment failures, and natural causes as common reasons for electrical accidents. The presentation recommends using protective devices like fuses, circuit breakers, and earthings. It notes that temporary electrical installations are commonly used in construction sites, emergencies, and for testing. The presentation provides safety precautions for indoor and outdoor temporary installations, emphasizing the use of qualified technicians, permits, PPE, fire extinguishers, and restricting access.

Need for temporary Electrical
Installation
• Used for rescue operations
• Used for salvaging activities
• Used in accident spots
• Used for testing purpose
• Used in construction sites
• Normally not used for production activity
• Used for short duration
Types of Temporary Electrical
Installations

1. Indoor
2. Out-door
Safety Precautions to be taken
At Indoor sites
• Use only quality materials, equipments and accessories.
• Engage only qualified technicians
• Ensure the parameters are not exceeded.
• Maintain constant supervision
• Maintain the area neat, clean and well ventilated and no
obstructions.
• Keep sufficient No. Fire Extinguishers ( DCP, CO2 ) to
extinguish electrical fire.
• Erect the electrical equipments properly
• Ensure there is no toxic/ explosive gases are present at
the work spot.
• Display caution boards.
• Obtain necessary work permits.
• Ensure proper earthing is done.
• Carry out meggar test before energizing any
electrical equipment.
• Restrict unauthorised entry.
• Use PPEs as required
• Provide adequate lighting
• Remove the temporary facilities once the job is
completed and close the work permits.
Safety Precautions to be taken
At out-door sites
In addition to all the above precautions
ensure the following additional precautions
are taken.
• Provide waterproof shelter for the electrical
appliances.
• Keep sufficient No. Fire Extinguishers ( DCP,
CO2 ) to extinguish electrical fire.
• Cordon off the area to restrict unauthorised
entry of the public.
• protect the wires, cables from mechanical
damage and from changing weather conditions
At out-door sites

• Ensure the equipments, wiring do not


submerge in to water
• Use PPEs as required
• Obtain necessary work permits and also
statutory approvals if required.
• Use Safety belts when working on heights.
• Ensure the First-Aid box is available.
• Take the help of police, local administration on
need basis
• Remove the temporary facilities once the job is
completed and close the work permits.
Last but not the least
• Accidents do not happen. They are
Caused
• Let us not make electricity our MASTER
• Let us make it our SERVANT
