Title Protective measures for work on electrical installations
Original title Massnahmen zum Schutz der Elektromonteure [in German]
Mesures de protection pour les monteurs électriciens. [in French]
Bibliographic information Jan. 1976, No.121. 8p. Illus.
Abstract A large percentage of electrical accidents involve personnel working on electrical installations who underestimate the hazards and fail to take the necessary precautions. In principle the installation should be switched off while the work is being carried out. If live work cannot be avoided, various safety precautions must be taken: protective measures to prevent accidental contact with live parts; protection against the effects of electric arcing; protective measures for work on dead sectors of installations, and on high voltage installations. Examples of typical accidents, indicating cause and possible preventive measures.
