2.3.1 Hazards from elec-
trical current
Electrical current
DANGER!
Danger to life from electrical
current!
There is an immediate risk to
life from electrocution on
touching live parts. Damaged
electrical insulation or compo-
nents can be extremely dan-
gerous.
–
Only qualified electricians
shall work on the electrical
system.
–
If the insulation is dam-
aged, immediately switch
off and have repairs per-
formed.
–
Before commencing work
on live parts of the elec-
trical systems and oper-
ating equipment, discon-
nect the equipment and
ensure that it remains dis-
connected for the duration
of the work. Observe these
5 safety rules when doing
so:
–
Isolate (disconnect)
–
Secure against
switching back on
–
Check for absence of
voltage
–
Ground and short
–
Cover or cordon off
other live parts in the
vicinity
–
Never bridge fuses or put
them out of operation.
Always observe the correct
current ratings when
replacing fuses
–
Keep moisture away from
live parts. This can result in
short-circuit
2.3.2 Mechanical hazards
