1.1.3. Electrical Risks
Electrical energy plays a very important role in human life. However, it is also the reason

why most of the occupational accidents occur. A significant part of the occupational
accidents that occur in our country every year are the electric shocks caused by electric

current.

Although electrical risks are encountered in all sectors, they are more common especially
in electricity generation distribution facilities and metal industry.

Risk factors in working with electricity can be listed as;

 The control, maintenance and repair of the electrical installation is not carried out

by persons with a vocational training certificate,
 The bare metal parts of the machines or tools are not grounded or the necessary

insulation is not made,

 The impairment of grounding for the tools or machines that are considered to have
been grounded over time or as a result of external factors, The employees are not

given sufficient and appropriate PPE or they are not used,

 Failure to provide necessary training to the employees on occupational health and
safety or the employees' failure to comply with the rules set in the workplace,

 Employees do not have the necessary training, knowledge and experience about
electrical risks, have excessive self-confidence and do not show the necessary

attention and care against electricity,

 Employees intervening in electrical failures without taking the necessary
instructions or outside of their duties,

 Abrasions on the cables through which the electric current passes.

Measures to be taken against electrical risks are as follows:

 Machines and devices used in laboratories, workshops and factories must have
separate stop mechanisms and switch mechanisms that can stop them all.
