Product Information

Even incorrectly wiring a plug can be dangerous and lead to fatal accidents or fires. Actions you must take

Inspect portable cord-and-plug connected equipment, extension cords, power bars, and electrical fittings for damage or wear before each use. Repair or replace damaged equipment immediately. Electricity is a deadly workplace hazard that should be handled with caution. Workers need to be aware of the dangers and how to avoid serious injury, which is where our Electrical Safety Poster comes in. With bold graphics and clear messaging, these posters are designed to raise awareness of electrical hazards and encourage safe practices. Electrical Safety Poster Features Speak to the line owner, eg the electricity company, railway company or tram operator, before any work begins GFCI wall outlets can be installed in place of standard outlets to protect against electrocution for just that outlet, or a series of outlets in the same branch circuit. A GFCI Circuit Breaker can be installed on some circuit breaker electrical panels to protect an entire branch circuit. Portable in-line plug-in GFCIs can be plugged into wall outlets where appliances will be used. Accidents do unfortunately happen, and reporting is required, according to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). Posters detailing the correct procedures are very helpful tools in this regard. The accident reporting poster will tell you which accidents should be reported, who must do this, and gives information on how to go about it. Forms for this can be pulled out of an accident reporting book.

Label all circuit breakers and fuse boxes clearly. Each switch should be positively identified as to which outlet or appliance it is for. It covers electrical safety in the home, at school and outdoors and includes lots of simple ways that you can help to protect yourself and your children from harm. This can cause minor effects, such as tingling, and numbness, or in more severe cases it can cause electrical burns and even death. That's why it's important to teach children about the dangers of electricity using electrical safety posters like this one. Suspend extension cords temporarily during use over aisles or work areas to eliminate stumbling or tripping hazards.

Arrange inspecting and testing of fixed wiring installations to minimise deterioration leading to danger. This should cover circuits from the meter and consumer unit supplying: Do not bypass the on/off switch and operate the tools by connecting and disconnecting the power cord. As it is important to understand the regulations governing safety in the workplace, a wallchart may be displayed, for instance, at a common meeting point. This is a great way to broach the need for methodologies, and employees will be prompted to keep in line with protocols such as regular testing of Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and knowing where underground cables run. We also have plenty of useful resources related to safety within the classroom here. Dangers of Electricity

What is included with these Electrical Safety Posters?

The risk assessment should take into consideration the type of electrical equipment used, the way in which it is used and the environment it is used in. Wait for the electrical utility to come and they will tell you when it is safe to get out of your vehicle. Always use ladders made with non-conductive side rails (e.g., fibreglass) when working with or near electricity or power lines.
