CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO ACCIDENTS
KEYWORDS:
• Electricity - is a property of matter that results from

the presence or movement of electric charge
• Accident -An unfortunate incident that happens

unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting
in damage or injury or worse death.
3
ELECTRICAL ACCIDENTS
4
These are undesired event caused by electric current

resulting to injury to a person or damaged to property.
5
Electrical accidents are common, if not unavoidable, in

the manufacturing environment. They occur for a
number of reasons, whether it concerns the management,
equipment, or employees. There’s often no one persons
to blame; accidents just happen.
6
CAUSES OF ELECTRICAL
ACCIDENTS
7
• UNSAFE SYSTEM OF WORK
Every employer has a legal obligation to provide a safe

system of work and to take reasonably practicable steps
to avoid injury.
8
• OLD WIRING
The wiring in your home or workplace is the highway of

power that feeds electrical in the household. Overtime,
parts of it become damage or deteriorated and may
present a serious fire or shock hazard
9
• INADEQUATE INFORMATION
Employees must have enough information on what they

should have to do. They should also have the skills to do
the work the employer assigned to them.
10
• ELECTRICAL CORDS THAT RUN UNDER

CARPETING
Running a cord under a carpet can prevent the cord from

releasing its heat and could lead to fire
11
• NO TRAINING
If you ignore the importance of adequate employee

training it can severely impact business performance,
team morale, financial turnover and your ability to
attract and retain good employees.
12
• FLAMMABLE MATERIALS LEFT NEAR

EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRING IN THE
WORKPLACE
A plug or electrical cord should not have exposed wiring
because it present a danger of electric shock or
electrocution. It may cause injury to electric shock or
fire.
13
• INADEQUATE ISOLATION
As much as possible turn off the power supply of the

equipment you’re currently maintaining to avoid
possible accidents.
14
• LOOSE CONNECTOR/S
Loose electrical connections cause multiple problems in

appliances, heat being the most common one. When a
connection becomes loose, it develops resistance. This
resistance dissipates power in the form of heat that can
burn up the connection and surrounding wires
15
• UNSAFE RULES
Employers should ensure that working methods,

materials, equipment and worker training meet the
standards set out in good practice guidelines.
16
• POOR WIRING
Improper electrical wiring cause by too much current is

drawn, wires heat up, baking and eventually weakening
an insulation can cause shocks or fires.
17
• POOR CONTROL OF WORK ACTIVITIES
Workers should be given enough information to allow

them to work safely. This may take the form of a toolbox
talk before work commences for lower risk activities, or
may require a formal permit to work system for higher
risk activities.
18
• LACK PREVENTING DEVICE/S
Lack of preventing devices such as ground circuit

interrupters, three-pronged outlets and polarise plugs can
cause fires and hazard of electrical shock.
19
• WORKING LIVE
Electrical equipment and machinery should be securely

isolated before any work is undertaken on it that will
give rise to risks arising from the electricity or other risk
such as those caused by an unintended start up.
20
• UNSUITABLE TEST EQUIPMENT
Equipment should be designed so that it does not give

rise to electrical or other risks, and a safe system of work
employed to ensure the equipment is used correctly.

CAUSES OF ELECTRICAL
ACCIDENTS
9
• POOR MAINTENANCE
All work equipment should be regularly checked to

ensure it is safe to use.
10
A visual check each day, or each time the equipment is

used is likely to identify many of the potential electrical
faults.
11
12
• FAILURE TO MANAGE WORK
Those in control of work on electrical equipment or

installations should ensure it is carried out in a manner
that, so far as is reasonably practicable, does not lead to
danger.
13
• PERSON NOT COMPETENT
Those in control of work activities should ensure that

workers are competent to undertake them.
14
• PERSON NOT COMPETENT

15
• UNINSULATED ELECTRICAL WIRING
Electrical conductors should be insulated or positioned

in such a way as to prevent, so far as is reasonably
practicable, danger.

10
• BURNS
When an electrical current passes through the human

body it heats the tissue along the length of the current
flow.
11
• BURNS
This can result in deep burns that often require major

surgery and are permanently disabling.
12
• BURNS
13
• LOSS OF MUSCLE CONTROL
People who receive an electric shock often get painful

muscle spasms that can be strong enough to break bones
or dislocate joints.
14
This loss of muscle control often means the person

cannot ‘let go’ or escape the electric shock. The person
may fall if they are working at height or be thrown into
nearby machinery and structures.
