Electrician West Palm Beach
Here are 3 potential electrical hazards that the professional Electrician West Palm Beach here at Global Power can solve for your home or business.
- Not having the right PPE - Personal protective equipment is an essential part of safety procedures. This could include anything from rubber insulating gloves to face shields to special helmets depending on the nature and scope of the job.
- Incorrect grounding- A properly ground circuit offers a high level of security as it directs electricity away from the body, giving it a quicker route to an earth surface.
- Extension cords that are damaged: If the insulation is damaged and the bare copper wire is visible, or if someone used tape to repair or splice a damaged cord, it can be extremely dangerous and could lead to shock if they come in contact with moist surfaces.
Two more hazards that are particularly common but can be easily avoided if you contact an Electrician West Palm Beach to inspect your home.
- Live circuits can cause serious injuries if the worker comes in contact with them for a brief moment. Even if the shock doesn't cause injury, workers can still be shocked and fall or jump into other people or objects. Workers who use live circuits to take shortcuts can end up causing injury to themselves and others around them.
- Skip lockout/Tagout - Low-voltage circuits should have the current turned off at the switch box. A padlock should also be installed to prevent it from being re-energized. To indicate that equipment is out-of-service, tags are placed on switches and controls. The tags and locks should only be removed by the worker who locked the equipment out or someone with specific authorization.
