 Golden Housekeeping Rules
If it is not yours, ask permission first, if you have not been trained to do it,
dont do it, do not interfere if it does not concern you.
If you spill it, wipe it up.
If you mess up, clean up, if you remove, replace.
To get others to follow, set the example.
You are the champion of good housekeeping.
Teach others that neatness is an important part of maintaining a safe
environment.
If you remove something, replace it.
If you unlock it, lock it.
If you open it, close it.
If you switched it on, did you switch it off?
If you break it, fix it, if you borrowed it, look after it, if you use it, look after it as
if it were yours.
 Poor housekeeping hazards & cost
Slips, trips, and falls
Fires
Chemical and machine accidents
Injuries from electrical problems
Collisions and falling objects
Health problems
Good housekeeping habits
Keep evacuation routes clear

Some Definitions of Electricity
Definitions:
A physical agency caused by the motion of electrons, protons, and other charged
particles, manifesting itself as an attraction, repulsion, magnetic, luminous, and
heating effects, etc.

CONDUCTOR: contains many free electrons --- gold, copper, silver, aluminum

INSULATOR: contains few free electrons-Usually non-metallic such as wood, rubber,

glass, etc

VOLTAGE : unit of measurement of electromotive force (EMF)

CURRENT : Continuous movement of electrons past a given point. (measured in

amperes)

RESISTANCE: Opposition to movement of electrons. Makes it possible to generate

heat, control current flow, & supply correct voltage to devices
 Electrical & Grounding audit overview
Some most common hazards of Electricity
Hazards:-
SHOCK:-
Electric shock occurs when the human body becomes part of the path through which current
flows. The direct result can be electrocution. The indirect result can be injury resulting from a
fall or movement into machinery because of a shock
BURNS :-
Burns can result when a person touches electrical wiring or equipment that is energized.
ARC-BLAST :-
Arc-blasts occur from high- amperage currents arcing through the air. This can be caused by
accidental contact with energized components or equipment failure.
FIRES :-
Electricity is one of the most common causes of fires both in the home and in the workplace.
Defective or misused electrical equipment is a major cause.

Effects of AC Electricity

oMore than 3 mA- Painful shock- cause indirect accident

oMore than 10 mA- Muscle contraction No Let Go danger
oMore than 30 mA- Lung paralysis, usually temporary
Standard three pin receptacle
 Electrical & Grounding audit overview
Cables & tools must be used as per company standard

Electrical equipment shall be free from recognized hazards that are likely to
cause death or serious physical harm to employees

Three core cables must be used at all.

All cables must buried proper as per company standard after testing & inspection
from company approved competent person
All cables must be provided standard PVC conduit or flexible conduit for protection of
weather or damages.
Marked as double insulated on used tools by manufacturer.
Square in a square
Marked double insulated
 Electrical & Grounding audit overview
Grounding
Definition:-
The path to ground from circuits, equipment, and enclosures shall be permanent and continuous
Types of Grounding:-
There are two kinds of grounding:
1. Electrical circuit or system grounding
One conductor of the circuit is intentionally grounded to earth
Protects circuit from lightning, or other high voltage contact
2. Electrical equipment grounding
All metal frames & enclosures of equipment are grounded by a permanent connection
or bond
The equipment grounding conductor provides a path for dangerous fault current
to return to the system ground at the supply source should a fault occur
Exposed non-current carrying metal parts of cord and plug connected
equipment which may become energized shall be grounded
If in a hazardous location
If operated at over 150 volts
Earth Resistance Value
Ideally a ground should be of zero ohms resistance. There is not one standard ground
resistance threshold that is recognized by all agencies. However, the NFPA and IEEE have
recommended a ground resistance value of 5.0 ohms or less.
