Abstract

To address the hazards, risks, and controls of electrical work in all fields, recent efforts in classifying all electrical shock hazards and all arc flash hazards are presented in an approach to perform risk assessments and develop controls for all forms of electricity in all work environments. This presentation considers recent efforts in NFPA 70E, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense to address electrical hazards beyond power frequencies (50/60 Hz) in electrical systems and equipment including battery banks, solar and wind power systems, DC transmission lines, lasers, accelerators, capacitor banks, electroplating systems, induction and dielectric heating systems, etc. Industries utilizing these non-power frequency electrical hazards include chemical, power generation and transmission, aluminum and steel, military, and research. Recent work in the classification of all shock hazards and all arc flash hazards will be used to take the thresholds for various types of injuries and present a method of performing risk assessments based on energy type, work task, exposure, equipment configuration and condition, environmental considerations, and worker knowledge, experience, training and condition. This approach to risk assessment for electrical work with all electrical hazards in all work environments will then be used for the controls to prevent injury, including Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), training, oversight, and co-worker responsibilities. This paper presents a method of risk assessment for electrical work considering potential exposure to all forms of electricity, in all electrical work environments, for all industries. This risk assessment approach will include traditional AC power, DC, impulse, and radiofrequency sources.
一种适用于所有电气危险的完整电气风险评估方法及其应用
为了解决所有领域电气工作的危害、风险和控制问题,最近在对所有触电危险和电弧闪光危险进行分类方面的努力,提出了一种对所有工作环境中所有形式的电力进行风险评估和制定控制措施的方法。本报告考虑了NFPA 70E,能源部和国防部最近为解决电力系统和设备中电力频率(50/60 Hz)以外的电气危害所做的努力,包括电池组,太阳能和风能系统,直流输电线路,激光器,加速器,电容器组,电镀系统,感应和电介质加热系统等。利用这些非工频电气危害的行业包括化学、发电和输电、铝和钢铁、军事和研究。最近对所有电击危险和电弧闪光危险进行分类的工作将用于确定各种类型伤害的阈值,并提出一种基于能量类型、工作任务、暴露、设备配置和条件、环境考虑因素以及工人知识、经验、培训和条件的风险评估方法。这种对所有工作环境中所有电气危险的电气工作进行风险评估的方法将用于预防伤害的控制,包括个人防护装备(PPE)、培训、监督和同事责任。本文提出了一种电气工作风险评估方法,该方法考虑了在所有电气工作环境中对所有行业的所有形式的电力的潜在暴露。这种风险评估方法将包括传统的交流电源、直流电源、脉冲电源和射频电源。
