Upgrades and modifications to these industrial processes under different international standards leads to situations in which heterogeneous and fragmented electrical systems are installed and operated without having proper electrical safety programs in place. Electrical hazards associated with high and low voltage systems are not fully understood, calculated, and mitigated for all personnel. This paper describes the process of implementing an electrical safety program for a large industrial plant in the Middle East region and cultural challenges faced in its implementation and that of similar regional industrial manufacturers. An approach to gap assessment, targeted hazard mitigation programs, electrical safety program development, and training of personnel is provided. This approach was used with the goal of establishing good foundations, capabilities, and processes to address electrical risk and sustain continuous improvement. The implementation of an Electrical Safety Program that pro-actively manages and mitigates arc flash and shock hazards and puts in place a corporate independent governance structure that includes electrical workers from different sites and production areas is described. In an effort to tackle the cultural and behavioral challenges in an established industry in a region where electrical safety has recently emerged as a serious industrial risk, the Electrical Safety Program developed integrates intensive trainings and communications to drive change in modus operandi.","PeriodicalId":150498,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW)","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116161773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, this involves some form of monetary support for various projects requested from the community. This paper will describe an alternate approach for providing community support by actually going to the local High School Career and Technology Centers or Community Colleges and offering to do a Basic Electrical Safety Seminar for the students. The paper has been written as a “How To Guide” so that any qualified electrical person can reach out to the schools and offer a Basic Electrical Safety seminar.The primary benefit of this project is reaching out to young and inexperienced people in the High Schools or Community Colleges before they have had a chance to learn bad habits with energized electrical devices. This helps advance the IEEE Electrical Safety Workshop mission of advancing the electrical safety culture. The secondary benefit of this project is it will introduce your company to a school full of potential future employees. So it is a Win-Win relationship for both sides.The paper gives suggestions on how to reach out to the schools. It then lists various electrical safety concepts that should be covered in the seminar. A qualified electrical person with a sense of community pride should be able to give this seminar. Think of the future lives that could be saved by reaching out to a group of young people.","PeriodicalId":150498,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129403557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were 15 fatal electrical accidents in 2012, five in 2013, and 15 in 2014. The total number of electrical fatalities in Japan will exceed 8,000 in 1959–2040. Thus, it is necessary to consider certain further preventive measures to save the valuable lives of workers. However, the thorough prevention of accidental fatal electric shocks is not a trivial matter. The main reason is that there are 60 million workers in all industries, including 15 million in the construction and manufacturing industries. The construction and electrical construction industries account for approximately 60% of the fatal electrical accidents in all industries. Similar fatal electrical accidents occur every year. Thus, there is a large number of workers, and designing thorough preventive measures is not easy. Therefore, a new approach for measures to prevent fatal electrical accidents is required. In this study, a detailed analysis of recent fatal electrical accidents is performed, considering case studies from 2012 to 2014. The goal of this study is to save the valuable lives of workers by preventing fatal electrical fatal accidents.","PeriodicalId":150498,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132584976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sectors have developed innovative best practices within the confines of their own work programs over the years but most often have not pooled that collective knowledge effectively enough between themselves. High functioning leading-edge learning organizations from these electrical sectors realized a long time ago that there are far more similarities than differences between them when it comes to electrical safety and the potential exposures to those toxic energies. This paper will explore and describe in detail some of the opportunities for positive and proactive improvement between these segments of the electrical industry. These opportunities can be used by anyone to significantly advance the electrical safety culture within their organization. Benchmarking effective techniques such as “quality” tailboards or pre-job briefs, execution of risk assessment procedure to obtain an output of residual risk, using clarity as the critical tool for world class communication in field scenarios will be explored and more. The soft skills that need to be used by those doing hard work. If you need to change and upgrade your electrical safety culture this will be an empowering and enlightening journey.","PeriodicalId":150498,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW)","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116366007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in a global economy we are faced with cultures that do not have the same belief in the right to life, and may not put a “priceless” value on loss-of-life. As well, in the “right to life” countries we are still faced with risk assessments that categorize risks based on both the probability and severity of an accident. The results do not arrive at a “bottom line” financial value to justify expenditure necessary to mitigate the hazard. Thus, an electrical safety program is still left to the subjective mindset of the management – electrical and nonelectrical. Now that the U.S. consensus standard NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, has clearly recognized that the condition of electrical equipment and maintenance is a necessary consideration in an electrical safety program, companies are required to develop their electrical maintenance program in harmony with their electrical safety program. This paper demonstrates that a good electrical safety program, coupled with a good electrical maintenance program, will lead to higher reliability, longer life of equipment, and lowest total cost of ownership. There is heavy reliance on anecdotal data (incidents) to demonstrate the losses associated with failures that were also safety accidents or near misses. This focus attempts to show the business losses that will inevitably result from unsafe behaviors.","PeriodicalId":150498,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117185009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
