Electrical Hazards in the Textile and Garment Industry Practical Solutions for avoiding danger

Introduction Hazards arising from current flowing through the human body Examples of unacceptable and acceptable situations Fig. 1 by F. Kraugmann Seite 2

Hazards caused by electricity Deadly failure at power rail During non electrical maintenance next to the power rail Even the power rail was finger safe Worker slipped off and the screwdriver touched the power rails Measurements electrical hazards must be consider in risk assessment too Switch off electrical power Cover power rails Fig. 2 by BG ETEM Seite 3

Hazards caused by electricity Accidents caused by electricity can be divided into three main parts: current flowing through human body Contactwith hotand harmful substances Secondary hazards Fig. 3 by Napo [6] Fig. 4 by BG ETEM Fig. 4 by BG ETEM Fig. 5 by Napo [6] Seite 4

current flowing through the human body The extent of injury reflects the impact of a series of factors, such as: Amperage Path of current Frequency of current Ambient conditions (e.g. humidity, temperature) Length of contact time Fig. 6 by F. Kraugmann Seite 5

current flowing through the human body - Can cause electric shock with a harmful effect on the internal organs and their proper function - Most vulnerable are cardiac activities - Weak current mostly causes functional disorders, while heavy current causes human tissue burn, especially if the current goes in and out of the body The current that may cause an injury is about 1/10 th of the current flowing through a light bulb! Seite 6

current flowing through the human body The extent of injury reflects the impact of a series of factors: Amperage Injury: Amperage: The lower limit of noticeability: 0,5 ma to 3 ma Pain threshold: > 3,5 ma Limit when you get stick on to it: 10 ma to 20mA The lower limit of ventricular fibrillation: > 30 ma Burn: > 2 A Seite 7

current flowing through the human body The resistor of a human body at 230 V in according to the current path current path resistor of human body hand to hand 1000 Ω foot to foot 1000 Ω hands to feet 500 Ω hand to feet 750 Ω hand to chest current (hand to hand) = 230V / 1000Ω= hands to chest hand to backside 450 Ω 230mA 230 Ω The lower limit of ventricular fibrillation is about > 30mA 550 Ω hands to backside 300 Ω Seite 8

Examples for unacceptable and acceptable conditions Fig. 29 by Napo [6] Fig. 28:cable reel is not firmly clamped in the sockets anymore by F. Kraugmann Seite 19

Summary Basic rules for safe use of electrical equipment and tools: It shall be designed and installed for safe operation Periodic checks are definitely required It shall be repaired safely and for safe further operation Never by-pass the protective device Seite 20
