This UFC addresses arc flash c

24、riteria for electrical safety. Arcs result from the passage of electric current through air; the air failing as an insulator, but serving as a conducting medium. Blasts result when the metal at the arc site expands and vaporizes. High energy arcs can be fatal even at distances of 4 10 ft (3.0 m) or

25、more. /4/ 1-7.3 Workplace Dangers. 2 Table 1-2 indicates typical hazards that can be found in enclosures, enclosed areas, or confined work spaces.

Typical Hazards Hazard Source Asbestos* Insulation, underground manholes, under houses; crawl spaces, old electric equipment, fire protecting tape, duct banks, arc chutes/shields, cables, and wiring Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)

If insulation is not marked as being “Asbestos Free”, consider it to contain Asbestos. Avoid disturbing the materia

29、l, getting it on clothing, or any activity that could make the fiber airborne. 1-7.4 Health Hazards of Asbestos. Asbestos is a known human carcinogen. Its primary route of entry to the body is by inhalation; however, exposure can occur by ingestion. Asbestos is not absorbed through the skin. The dis

30、eases caused by long term exposure to asbestos are: cancer of the lungs, pleura sack surrounding the lungs, bronchus, oropharynx, stomach, and colon. Symptoms are shortness of breath, dry cough, and clubbing of the fingers. These symptoms generally do not show up for 20 years or more after initial e

31、xposure. The potential for a material containing asbestos to release breathable fibers depends on the materials degree of friability. Friable means that the material can be crumbled with hand pressure. When working around materials suspected of containing asbestos, it is important not to bump, brush

32、 or disturb the materials in any way. Wetting the materials can help to reduce the emission of fibers. Refer to Table 1-3. Note: Employees who are not qualified to work with asbestos are not to handle or remove materials containing asbestos fibers. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.1001 (Asbestos) or 29 CFR 1926

33、.1101 (Asbestos) for worker qualifications and requirements for handling asbestos containing materials.

34、ze Asbestos Exposure 1. Prior to disturbance, have unknown material tested for asbestos. 2. Keep unknown fibers off clothing. Wear disposable coveralls. 3. Wear proper respiratory protection: either full face or half face respirators with P-100 Filter if working with fibrous materials. 4. After work

35、ing with materials, wash hands prior to eating, drinking or taking a break. 1-8 MISHAP RESPONSE. Each worker should know what to do when a mishap occurs. Additionally, each worker should know how to report injuries and other mishaps. 1-8.1 Knowing What to Do. Table 1-4 summarizes the first aid knowl

36、edge required of each worker. As a preplanning aid, an emergency telephone number list should be prepared to include the location and telephone numbers of the nearest ambulance or emergency medical treatment responders, the nearest hospital with an emergency room, the nearest helicopter evacuation s

37、ervice, and the nearest burn trauma center. A medical professional must evaluate all shock victims for possible immediate hospitalization. Table 1-4. Knowing What to Do Item Instructions/Training First aid/CPR How to control bleeding and apply artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation

38、 (CPR). How to provide pole top and manhole rescues of mishap victims. Familiarity with electric shock symptoms. Medical provisions Location, contents, and use of first aid kits and where located in electric line and aerial lift vehicles. How to get medical assistance. 1-8.2 Work Injuries and Mishap

39、 Reports. Report injuries, including minor injuries, to your immediate supervisor. Every mishap involving personnel injury, property damage, or near misses must be investigated to determine the cause and the corrective action needed to prevent recurrence. Cognizant safety personnel conduct investiga

40、tions. The safety staff must be notified of all mishaps that involve personnel injuries or property damage. 1-8.3 2 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid Training. Employees exposed at or above 50 volts and those trades listed in paragraph 4-4.1 shall be provided with first aid and CPR t

41、raining. First aid training is primarily received Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 3-560-01 December 06, 2006 Change 4 - May 1, 2012 1-10 through the American Red Cross, the National Safety Council, or other private institutions. E

42、mployees shall obtain refresher training as necessary to maintain CPR certifications. When employees are performing work on or associated with exposed lines or equipment energized at 50 volts or more, persons trained in first aid including CPR shall be available as follows:/2/ a. For field work invo

43、lving two or more employees at a work location, at least two trained persons shall be available. See Paragraph 3-3 for those jobs requiring at least two employees. b. For fixed work locations such as generating stations, the number of trained persons available shall be sufficient to ensure that each

44、 employee exposed to electric shock can be reached within 4 minutes by a trained person. However, where the existing number of employees is insufficient to meet this requirement (at a remote substation, for example), all employees at the work location shall be trained. Note: For the Air Force, refer

45、 to AFI 32-1064 for requirements on CPR and first aid training, including certification requirements. 1-8.4 First Aid Supplies. 1-8.4.1 Storage and Inspection. 2 First aid supplies shall be placed in weatherproof containers if the supplies could be exposed to the weather. Each first aid kit shall be

46、 maintained, readily available for use, and inspected frequently (at least annually) to ensure expended items are replaced. /2/ 1-8.4.2 Contents. An example of the minimal contents of a generic first aid kit is described in American National Standard (ANSI) Z308.1, Minimum Requirements for Workplace

47、 First-aid Kits. The contents of the kit listed in the ANSI standard should be adequate for small worksites. When larger operations or multiple operations are being conducted at the same location, employers should determine the need for additional first aid kits at the worksite, additional types of

48、first aid equipment and supplies and additional quantities and types of supplies and equipment in the first aid kits. 1-8.5 Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs). Where emergency medical assistance is not available within four minutes, the use of AEDs may be warranted. Prior to agencies/activitie

49、s purchasing AEDs, effective written programs must be established. These programs shall, at a minimum, address: Coordination with private sector and/or DoD medical facilities, fire departments, emergency responders. Training.
