taken to prevent or minimize - Get written statement
recurrence of the accident. - Reassure the witness
FATAL: accidents resulting in death - Let the witness tell the story
- Begin with open-ended question
: 24 hours (report), 48 hours (investigated) - Summarize
INJURY: minor or first aid treatment to - Ask for recommendation
serious, to permanently/total incapacitate - Close on a positive note

DISESASE: work-related disease/illness due ANALYZE THE INCIDENT:

to exposure to unsafe working environment - Finding cause (People,
DANGEROUS OCCURENCES: may or may not Equipment, Materials,
cause serious bodily harm to workers, or Environment)
serious bodily harm to workers, or seriously INCIDENT REPORT ANSWER:

- Who was injured?
NEAR MISS: no injury or property damage - What Happened?
but where a slight difference in position or - Where did the accident occur?
timing - When did the accident occur?

• EYE PROTECTION Resistance: ohms
- Goggles
Current: amperes
• FACE SHIELDS
• EAR PROTECTION Water Flow – Electricity
- Ear plug, earmuffs, canal caps
Hydraulic Pressure – Voltage
• RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
• HAND and ARM PROTECTION Pipe Resistance – Electrical Resistance

directly proportional to the voltage and
• FOOT and LEG PROTECTION
inversely proportional to the current
• FALL PROTECTION
• TORSO/FULL BODY PROTECTION Electric Shock: once the worker’ body
becomes part of an electrical circuit when it
comes in contact with a live internal
conductor at the point of insulator
breakdown.
Alternating Current: magnitude and
direction changes periodically
Direct Current: does not change direction

and making it flow directly to earth by using
an electrical conductor

point iron terminal of electrical
circuits on power transformer of
electrical system
- EQUIPMENT: grounding of a non
charged metal part of electrical
equipment.
FUSE: strip of metal that melts at a
predetermined value of current flow, and
therefore cuts off the current to that circuit.

excess current circuit protection
