What is safety? Safety is nothing but being safe. Many organizations that deal
with safety like world safety organization, Petroleum and Explosives Safety
Organisation, National Safety Council and etc. these all deal with different
sectors of safety like world safety org is an org of united nations and Petroleum
and Explosives Safety deals with Petroleum and Explosives and National Safety
Council and National Safety Council deals with medicinal safety.

What is a hazard is any agent that may cause hurt or harm to humans, property,
or the setting? Risk is outlined because the chance that exposure to a hazard
can cause a negative consequence, or additional merely, a hazard poses no risk
if there's no exposure to its hazard.

Safety practices

The first step in developing secure work surroundings is to possess procedures

in situ which give
guidelines for workers to perform varied tasks safely. The procedure ought to
facilitate eliminate injuries
by providing rules and tips for individuals functioning on or close to energized
circuit conductors.
It ought to address qualifications, tools, protecting instrumentation, approval
levels and attending needed for
various tasks, moreover as different extra cautionary info. conjointly this
procedure ought to address
safe approach distances for qualified and unqualified personnel.
When the conductor’s area unit or could become energized, an alternate means
of making certain safety from the electrical
hazards is to look at a secure approach distance (or clearance) from exposed
conductors. it's vital to
know how to shut persons, or conductive objects that they could be carrying, will
approach while not
endangering themselves. These clearances area unit bigger for AN unqualified
person than for a certified
Person.

The office rules solely provide safe approach distances and clearances to
overhead lines. See Table (Figure) This Table conjointly shows clearances for
qualified and unqualified persons functioning at ground level and
other locations wherever the conductor’s area unit additional stationary.
A procedure ought to conjointly address the necessities for “Electric Utility Safe
Practices On or close transformation, Transmission, and Distribution Electrical
Conductors” and be compliant with 29CFR 1910.269. The provisions of this
procedure apply to installations underneath the exclusive management of
electrical
utility personnel once personnel work on or close to the subsequent styles of
energized circuit conductors;
• Conductors used for communication or metering of power.
• Conductors used for the management, transformation, transmission, and
distribution of electrical energy.
• Conductors underneath the exclusive management of the utility, set in buildings
or set outdoors,
used completely for the needs of the generation, control, transformation,
transmission, and
distribution of electrical energy.
