ELEMENT 5.1 - WHY ELECTRICAL SAFETY?
Learning objectives:
61) The participants can recognise examples of electrical systems in a WTG and their relevance to CoHE (Knowledge, basic level)
62) The participants can describe the hazards of electricity in a WTG environment (Knowledge, basic level)
63) The participants can recognise the effects (including later effects) of electricity on the human body (Knowledge, basic level)
64) The participants can recognise the importance of working according to approved working practices with electricity in a WTG environment (Knowledge, basic level)
65) The participants can solve the challenge of how to identify and avoid the hazards of electricity in a WTG environment (Ability, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Emphasise to the participants that the CoHE Basic Safety Module will NOT qualify or enable the participants to be able to perform any electrical work
Show examples of electrical systems in a WTG
Facilitate a learning activity such as asking the participants questions about the electrical systems shown and how these electrical systems are relevant to CoHE and the participants´ work
Show examples of situations with hazards of electricity present in a WTG environment and how to avoid these hazards:
a.
difficult to detect (invisible)
b.
potential to be deadly or life altering
Explain the approach boundaries (please refer to Section 2 – Terms and Definitions) related to energised exposed electrical conductors and arc flash, highlight that a CoHE ordinary person cannot enter these boundaries unless under the direct supervision of a CoHE Qualified Person
Present the effects (including later effects) of electricity on the human body, including the hazards of melting clothing and conductive jewellery
Facilitate a learning activity such as asking the participants questions about:
