3. Recognizing dangers in the electricity industry

Electricity factories are working environments where electrical equipment is the main machinery for production operations. Therefore, the potential dangers from these types of machinery are an issue of concern. Not to mention the dangers from risky factors due to natural disasters.

And the subjects directly affected by the risk of unsafety are mostly in group 3. The following are the dangers that are likely to cause labor accidents in electricity manufacturing factories.

• The risk of electric shock from electrical equipment is the first thing we think of, when repairing without safety measures.
• The risk of fire and explosion if the operator performs incorrect operations in switching electrical equipment on and off.
• Falling when climbing to high positions to maintain machinery and equipment
• The manufacturing environment has high noise levels, affecting the hearing of workers
• Electromagnetic radiation affects body cells, causing cancer or related diseases.
• Electrical burns occur when switching the power source on and off, which generates electric arc.

4. Safety measures for the electricity industry

Electricity factories are places with a high risk of electric shock. The cause is from the current switching equipment and systems. Besides, the lack of professional knowledge and occupational safety training sessions for operators will cause errors during operation, leading to labor accidents. Therefore, businesses need to have preventive regulations and measures to minimize labor accidents.

• Businesses need to have regulations and procedures for operating and maintaining electrical equipment.
• Equip with full protective equipment according to quality standards.
