ELECTRICAL RISKS IN THE WORKPLACE - Mind Map

ELECTRICAL RISKS IN THE WORKPLACE

3) VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION: when the heart begins to contract in an irregular and chaotic way (VERY SERIOUS)

GROUNDING: when we link electrically with earth those metallic areas of machinery which could exceed the voltage limit.

1) ELECTROLOCUTION: the passage of electricity alterates body functions, can cause serious illnesses and even lead to death. The risks depend on:

TYPE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT

INTENSITY

EXPOSURE TIME

THE VICTIM'S HEALTH

2) TETANIZATION: when the danger limit is exceeded, the victim can experience painful muscles contractions, which do not allow him/her to separate from the area exposed to high voltage.

INSULATION: when an insulator with high resistivity to the flow of electricity is placed between the machine and the worker.

*DANGER LIMIT: 50V
