Electric Shock-CPR:
x
x
x
If someone is discovered that has received an electric shock and is unconscious, first check to see
if their body is in contact with an electrical circuit. Do not touch a person until you are sure there
is no contact with an electrical circuit.
When it is safe to make contact with the victim, begin CPR if the person’s heart has stopped or
they are not breathing.
Call for help immediately.
Electric Welders
x
x
A disconnecting means shall be provided in the supply circuit for each motor-generator arc
welder, and for each AC transformer and DC rectifier arc welder which is not equipped with a
disconnect mounted as an integral part of the welder.
A switch or circuit breaker shall be provided by which each resistance welder and its control
equipment can be isolated from the supply circuit. The ampere rating of this disconnecting means
may not be less than the supply conductor ampacity.
Equipment Grounding
x
x
x
All gas compressors, air compressors, separators, vessels, etc. shall be grounded by means of
using a lug and ground strap, nominal in size to a ½” bolt or larger, attached to a ground rod six
feet or longer.
Equipment bonding jumpers shall be of copper or other corrosion-resistance material.
The transfer of hazardous or flammable material from a metal or plastic container with a flash
point of 100 degrees F or less shall have a ground strap from the container and attached to the
skid or a ground rod placed in the ground.
Training
Workers are trained to understand the specific hazards associated with electrical energy. Workers shall be
trained in safety-related work practices and procedural requirements as necessary to provide protection from
the electrical hazards associated with their respective jobs. Workers shall be trained to identify and understand
the relationship between electrical hazards and possible injury.
Workers shall be trained in the skills and techniques to distinguish exposed energized electrical conductors and
circuit parts from other parts of electrical equipment, to determine the nominal voltage of exposed energized
electrical conductors and circuit parts, the approach distances specified in Table 130.2 (below), and the decision
making process necessary to determine the degree and extent of the hazard and the personal protective
equipment and job planning necessary to perform the task safely.
