1 The invisible killer - electrical safety in the food and drink industry Jackie Wooldridge Head of Health & Safety 2 Sisters Food Group
2 A game of chance? - Introduction to electrical hazards 1. Take turns rolling the dice. The person who rolls a 6 first is the one who is injured following an accident involving electricity. 2. Discuss what happened and how the accident happened. Brainstorm different hazards and scenarios. 3. Select a person to feedback the accident circumstances to the rest of the group.
3 The hazards and effects of electricity Key electrical hazards are: Shock - passage of current through the body Fire - ignition of flammable materials from electrical arcing Blast and heat effects of short circuits
4 Why do electrical accidents occur? Most electrical accidents occur because people are working on or near equipment that is: Thought to be Dead Known to be Live but those involved do not have adequate training or appropriate equipment, or they have not taken adequate precautions
5 What do we need to focus on? 68% inadequate working practices 19% failure to maintain 13% miscellaneous
6 Why do electrical accidents matter in the food and drink industry? In the UK one in 50 electrical accidents at work results in a fatality, compared with one in 600 from other causes You re10 times more likely to die from an electrical incident than from an incident due to another cause The ratio of fatal to major and reportable injuries due to accidents caused by electricity
7 I ve had electric shocks and it didn t do me any harm.. Three important considerations current path duration and frequency amount of energy or current flow
8 Special considerations in the food and drink industry Sometimes wet environment Production pressures Lots of people interacting with equipment Complex, high energy systems
9 Whose time is up? The person who rolled a 6 in the last exercise should open envelope 1 in the centre of the table. All other delegates should choose one of the other envelopes. Open your envelope and read through the character notes but don t share with others on the table. You will be playing a character who was involved in an electrical accident Start the role play with envelope 1 and go through the envelopes in numerical order. Read out the information to all the other delegates
10 Whose time is up? Once you have completed the role play answer the following questions what was the immediate cause of the accident What were the root causes of the accident What controls could have been put in place to prevent that accident happening?

33 Low voltage permit to work (dead) 1. EQUIPMENT & TASK INFORMATION The following equipment has been made safe /is considered safe to carry out work as detailed below: Equipment Description: Equipment Location: Supplies Isolated At: Caution notices displayed at: Danger notices displayed at: Work to be carried out: Note: this permit does not absolve the persons to whom it is issued from exercising due caution in cooperating with safety procedures applicable to the task. All other equipment outside the scope of this permit should be considered potentially dangerous unless stated otherwise elsewhere. 2. SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN This Permit Is Valid Until:... (Date)... (Time) ISSUE BY DESIGNATED COMPETENT PERSON Signed:... Print Name:.Date:..Time:.. DESIGNATED COMPETENT PERSON 4. RECEIPT BY COMPETENT PERSON I have read and understand the above. I have confirmed to my own satisfaction that the supplies referred to in this permit have been made dead. I will return this permit to the issuer on completion/suspension or at the expiry of the validity period. Signed:... Print Name:.Date:..Time:.. COMPETENT PERSON 5. HAND BACK BY COMPETENT PERSON Work in the above location has ceased and the area cleared. The status of the equipment is as follows: Work complete, tools and materials removed, covers and barriers replaced. Work incomplete, reinstated and operational. Work incomplete, NOT operational, safety precautions applied. Signed:... Print Name:.Date:..Time:.. COMPETENT PERSON
34 Live work (including testing) 1. Not acceptable to undertake manipulation of cables live 2. Testing is defined as live work 3. Authorised to do this 4. Extra precautions in wet environments 5. Rubber mats/barriers etc 6. PPE gloves and glasses 7. Individuals authorised to do this work 8. High power panels require sanction 9. Classification pf panels
35 Note 1 Is the Live work necessary? - If the answer is no then dead working is essential. Whether the risk assessment is in a generic or written form, the following applies in all cases. Live working can only be permitted where: - (a) it is unreasonable in all the circumstances for it to be carried out dead; and (b) it is reasonable in all the circumstances for it to be carried out while the equipment is live; and (c) suitable precautions (including where necessary, the provision of suitable protective equipment) are taken to prevent injury. Note 2 Equipment examined and in good condition? The rules state that no live work shall be permitted where there are any doubts about the safety of cables and electrical equipment being worked upon or adjacent to those being worked upon. Note 3 Upstream Fuse less than 100A? It can be assumed that where the upstream protective device is a conventional fuse or fast acting fixed pattern circuit breaker at a rating less than 100 amperes and the voltage is at 400 volts 3 phase and below then the incident energy levels will be limited. This does not mean to say that flash burn injury cannot be totally discounted and severe burns can still be experienced particularly at the hands which will usually be closer to a possible arc when testing live circuits. Note 4 Work at height required? Working at height whilst carrying out live work is always subject to a Sanction for Work near Live Conductors Certificate. Note 5 Is the location a hazardous area? Live testing is not permitted in a hazardous zoned area and will be subject to a Sanction for Work near Live Conductors. Note 6 Instruments, leads & tools checked. OK? Only approved tools and instruments may be used but their condition must be checked especially test leads. Note 7 Is the Equipment Finger Safe? This is defined as no exposed live parts that can be accessed by solid objects greater than 12.5mm as defined by IP rating IP2X. You must check the integrity of finger safe equipment in case it has been removed or has been replaced incorrectly. If the equipment is not finger safe, can corrective actions been taken to shroud live parts to prevent inadvertent contact. Note 8 Access/space, lighting & environment ok? The work area should be clearly defined with barriers and with a good means of escape and illumination. A hostile or wet environment will significantly increase the risk and severity of electric shock and the area must be made safe from spillages and tripping hazards. Note 9 Dead Work Only. Note 10 Sanction for Work Near Live Conductors Required. Refer to the Electrical Duty Holder. Note 11 Take Corrective Actions. Note 12 Implement Safe Work. Implement safe working and make sure that any special equipment and PPE is properly used and maintained. Keep the duration of all LIVE work to a minimum and ensure that suitable accompaniment provided?

40 What do we need to focus on? 68% inadequate working practices 19% failure to maintain 13% miscellaneous
41 What you can do now! Inspect and classify panels according to their potential risk Make sure shrouding is in place if not implement programme to replace/upgrade WHEN THE PANEL IS DEAD Only allow electricians access to high risk panels Review competence of your employees undertaking electrical work qualifications, experience, self assessment (including multi-skilled) use templates to document Based on above assessments define type of electrical work each individual can undertake Ask about the competence of the electrical contractors you use Review the live work you undertake is there anything obviously unnecessary? Carry out dynamic risk assessments for engineering and electrical tasks Ensure all panels/substations locked Show isolation and lock off DVD to those undertaking electrical work NICEIC Make sure have correct type of lock off devices for your circumstances Use caution and danger notices
42 Conclusions Developing the rules helps give clarity Things which were once acceptable can be challenged as part of the process To implement properly requires an improvement plan It is a journey..
