Watch Out for Workplace Electrical Hazards

Electrical hazards will vary depending on your line of work. A construction worker is going to run into different threats than someone who works in an office. However, some electrical dangers can be present in any work environment, and we have listed a few of them below.

Common Electrical Hazards in the Workplace

Damaged Electrical Equipment

Whether it is a power tool, a computer, or an extension cord, it is best not to attempt to fix damaged equipment yourself. If the proper precautions are not taken it can result in severe injury. Any issue with a power cord should be immediately unplugged and dealt with by a professional. Do not touch any exposed or frayed electrical components.

Overloaded Circuits or Outlets

Power outlets and cords are designed to handle a limited strain. Plugging too many items into one circuit can risk overheating the outlet and causing a fire. Rather than plug too many cords into one outlet, you should seek advice from a trained professional like those at Expert Electric on safe alternatives to supply power.

Water

The operation of electrical equipment in wet conditions can lead to shock. Wet electrical equipment should be inspected before being used again to avoid the risk of residual moisture in the equipment causing a problem. Keep electrical equipment away from all water sources, and do not handle electrical equipment with wet hands.

Common Electrical Hazards in the Workplace

Improperly Installed Electrical Equipment

We at Expert Electric always recommend that competent, trained professionals do any electrical installations. Incorrectly installed electrical equipment could lack proper grounding or have wiring that needs to be improved for the electrical load being carried through the circuitry. It is best to avoid tampering with or attempting repairs on any electrical equipment. Instead, call a licensed electrician to handle the job safely.
