Safety First Aid Group Electrical Safety Poster, Laminated (A2)

Product Information

When the electricity arcs (jumps, or "arcs") from an exposed energized conductor or circuit part (e.g., overhead power lines) through a gas (such as air) to a person who is grounded (that would provide an alternative route to the ground for the electrical current). This electricity safety KS2 PowerPoint answers many important questions that will help children more aware of the dangers of electricity. Use this PowerPoint to introduce the topic to your KS2 class and you could use the following resources to reinforce your teaching on the topic:

Electricity can cause life-threatening injuries or even death if it's not treated with respect, and electrical safety posters like this one serve to try and stop electrical accidents happening by showing children clearly what they should not do.

Ensure tools are properly grounded or double-insulated. The grounded equipment must have an approved 3-wire cord with a 3-prong plug. This plug should be plugged in a properly grounded 3-pole outlet. equipment that is regularly moved, used frequently, or likely to get damaged, for example in wet or dusty environments Keep a safety cap on all electricity outlets. What is included with these Electrical Safety Posters? Indirect: this includes damages that are caused by the electricity affecting something else which then affects the individual, such as falling and explosions

One way of demonstrating technical competence for general electrical work is to complete an electrical apprenticeship, with some post-apprenticeship experience. All electrical systems have the potential to cause harm. Electricity can be either "static" or "dynamic." Dynamic electricity is the uniform motion of electrons through a conductor (this is known as electric current). Conductors are materials that allow the movement of electricity through it. Most metals are conductors. The human body is also a conductor. This document is about dynamic electricity. The risk assessment should take into consideration the type of electrical equipment used, the way in which it is used and the environment it is used in. Repairs should only be carried out by a competent person .This is someone who has the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to carry out the work safely.

The classroom will more than likely have a fair few electricity hazards that children can be made aware of using electrical safety posters like this. Consider whether electrical equipment, including portable appliances, should be more formally inspected or tested by a competent person. Also think about the intervals at which this should be done.

As it is important to understand the regulations governing safety in the workplace, a wallchart may be displayed, for instance, at a common meeting point. This is a great way to broach the need for methodologies, and employees will be prompted to keep in line with protocols such as regular testing of Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and knowing where underground cables run. Thermal burns from the heat radiated from an electric arc flash. Ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light emitted from the arc flash can also cause damage to the eyes.Use a portable in-line Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) if you are not certain that the receptacle you are plugging your extension cord into is GFCI protected. We live in an age where electricity is a huge part of our everyday lives, but are your children fully aware of the dangers? A well-positioned 'Staying Safe with Electricity' poster can help children remember to be careful and learn some essential rules of safety. Wait for the electrical utility to come and they will tell you when it is safe to get out of your vehicle. Place halogen lights away from combustible materials such as cloths or curtains. Halogen lamps can become very hot and may be a fire hazard. Accidents do unfortunately happen, and reporting is required, according to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). Posters detailing the correct procedures are very helpful tools in this regard. The accident reporting poster will tell you which accidents should be reported, who must do this, and gives information on how to go about it. Forms for this can be pulled out of an accident reporting book.

Speak to the line owner, eg the electricity company, railway company or tram operator, before any work begins An arc blast can include a potential pressure wave released from an arc flash. This wave can cause physical injuries, collapse your lungs, or create noise that can damage hearing.Do not touch a person or electrical apparatus in the event of an electrical incident. Always disconnect the power source first. Some simple ways that you can help protect yourself and your children from harm when dealing with electricity include: More specialised work, such as maintenance of high-voltage switchgear or control system modification, is almost certainly likely to require additional training and experience. Ensure any electrical equipment brought into the workplace by workers, or any hired or borrowed, is suitable for use before using it and remains suitable by being maintained as necessary Always use the correct size fuse. Replacing a fuse with one of a larger size can cause excessive currents in the wiring and possibly start a fire.
