Electricity is inseparable part of our life but it is also life taking factor if not handled properly. Anyone can be exposed to electrical hazards at home or work. Elect ricity not only utilized in every industry it is also a major industry. Precaution, awareness, rules and regulations can ma ke the proper path to flow the current in safe and usable manner. This paper represents the various electrical hazards with the various works worldwide to reduce these hazards and the solutions in term of rules and regulations also dis cuss the problem to implementation of these rules with the s olution to prevent hazards by reinforce or amend the safety ru les and its practice.

Dangerous practice of electrical wiring systems and poor products must be thoroughly investigated if electrical fire incidents will be mitigated. Electricity can kill faster than any means and even destroy than tsunami. If anyone is seeking for the most dangerous energy means, they should trace it to electrical energy. Electrical fire does not just happen, it has propeller. From the man who designs it to the man who executes the design, and even the manufacturer of the electrical components, they all contribute to the outbreak of electrical fire. Electrical fires are fires which may involve electrical cables and equipments. This study examined the various dangerous sides of electrical wiring fault and its causes.

Course Goal -The aim of this program is to provide comprehensive on-site training to high-risk workers (i.e. skilled trades and maintenance workers) and management on the requirements of Sub Part S, and the prevention of serious injuries from electrical hazards at their worksites. Participants will develop understanding of the requirements of OSHA Sub Part "S" and NFPA, 70E and will be able to identify and reduce or eliminate electrical safety hazards in their workplace. Electrical Safe Work Practices including electrical safety principles, guidelines for qualification of personnel, job planning requirements and Management and Personal Responsibility will be covered.

As one of the most hazardous source at a construction sites and a symbol of modern construction operations, electricity possesses the capacity of powering all the tools and machineries at any construction site. In this research, the author aims to understand the different underlying electrical safety hazards in power industry and to understand the different methods to identify the underlying hazards. Also the author aims to learn the appropriate remedial measure or recommendations for the identified hazards. The methodology adopted in the research work also uses The objective of this study is to examine the different underlying electrical safety hazards in power industry and to understand the different methods to identify the underlying hazards. A secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AHP (Analytical Hierarchical Process) method to prioritize the identified flaws in the system so that the important electrical flaws can be addressed first on the basis of a pre-determined priority. Lastly, this research was undertaken to help develop specific best practices concerning electrical operations

Electricity distribution is a vast sector and it is stretched out over the whole country. Huge quantit y of distribution line, line equipment, workers and general public ar e involved in the system. Most of the activities of the distribution system are risky. The possibility of safety breaks in this system is very high for its complex and ris ks involved operation. Death due to electrical shock is as usua l news published in most of the Daily Newspapers. F or a country like Bangladesh due to economical and technological drawbacks and lack of giving proper importance of the sector, the management of distribution system in Bangladesh is still using very primitive methods with minimum or without using of personal protective devices (PPE) for comp letion of distribution system activities. Non avail ability of safety measures posses a great challenge to the workers an d general public enhancing the uncertainties and ri sks result in accident and ultimately turned to sufferings of wor kfo...

Electrical wellbeing -Where were we yesterday? Where are we today? Where will we be later on? The wellbeing society is proceeding to advance to give a more secure workplace to individuals working around electrical hardware. To enhance electrical security, it takes sense of duty regarding consistent change of the electrical wellbeing society. New musings and thoughts to enhance electrical wellbeing are basic. This paper addresses how function hones have changed after some time and prescribes thoughts to overhaul the current electrical culture. To change the current security culture new thoughts should be produced to cause higher execution in electrical wellbeing for all individuals presented to electrical risks. New circuit testers take in great and unfortunate propensities from more experienced circuit testers. Human execution depends on a mix of information, abilities, and educated practices. Convictions can be affected through perceptions and collaborations with different experts. The estimation of value mentorship conveys a high level of obligation to guarantee legitimate wellbeing rehearses is taken after. Almost no exertion has been given to preparing the nonelectrical labourers that are presented to electrical risks. Preparing for non-electrical labourers is a missing component in the present electrical security culture. A principal contention in this paper is that culture speaks to the entirety of what is regularly adequate without examination. The way of life is likewise determined by regular perception and experience. With a specific end goal to change the way of life there must be a redefinition of what is satisfactory, trailed by noticeable changes that everybody can understanding and watch. Administration possesses culture since it sets what is passable and satisfactory. Accordingly, the fate of electrical wellbeing will rely upon how well administration comprehends the hazard and results of electrical work and their duty in moulding and owning electrical security strategies. Enter components tended to in this paper incorporate human execution, innovation changes, adjusting to change, actualizing new thoughts to enhance security and how staff changes inside an enterprise can influence wellbeing execution.

"Nowadays, electric power is the most commonly used form of energy and is an important part of everyday life. The violation of the rules of use of electricity implies material damages, human injuries, and, unfortunately, very often, loss of life. According to the international statistics, electric accidents are the most fatal among the other kinds of accidents. This particularity is also confirmed for Greece. The present article is an assessment of the electrocutions that happened between 1992 and 1996 to workers in the power industry of Greece. Specifically, data concerning the occupational characteristics of the injured person, the time at which the accident occurred, and its consequences are presented and discussed. The calculation of the accident frequency rate per 1,000 workers, with special attention to fatal accidents, is proposed. Also, the structure of an information system for accidents is proposed. With its simultaneous connection to the central computer of the company, the information system can calculate the frequency and severity rates per workplace, per group, and per specialty of workers. Also, it characterizes the workers according to the occupational risk they are running.

Biogas technology is one of the most logical and environmentally sustainable link of the chain from waste to valuable resources. It is the heart of effective environmental protection and resource preservation concepts. The concept of use of biogas technology in power generation is of recent origin. The Foshan Environmental Sanitary Management Agency, China, studied the anaerobic digestion process and the utilization of biogas to generate electricity and set up a biogas power station with an output of 90kW. The plant began to work in 1974, and the power station has been operating since then. Although the power plant is very small, its success provided new experience in the treatment in the organic waste and in the building operation of commercial biogas power plants. Here researcher made an attempt to understand electric safety among the sugar plant employees with participatory approach at Nirani Sugars Limited Mudhol;

USA and Europe use different standards to provide electrical safety for employee workplaces. This paper examines the two standards NFPA70E and EN 50110, shows some of the similarities and differences, looks at the possibilities to a gradual harmonization between the two systems. The paper would contribute to improve the electrical safety right in the worldwide globalization.
