Risk Assessment: Works. Electricity Lines
RISK
340 Exposure to vibrations.
RISK FACTORS
- Vibrations transmitted to the machine operator or driver (truck/4WD truck moving on uneven ground).
- Using electrical tools and machinery (drills, radial grinders/cutters).
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Rules for acting
- The points where tools are held are to have insulating material to avoid vibrations being directly transmitted to workers.
- Reducing exposure by:
- Limiting exposure time.
- Appropriate work scheduling.
- Information/training for workers exposed to the risk.
Personal protection
- Ear protection.
- In the case of continued use of drills, anti-vibration gloves and/or wristbands.
RISK
370 Exposure to non-ionizing radiation.
* Intoxication due to welding fumes.
RISK FACTORS
- Oxy-cutting and welding operations.
- Continued exposure to the sun.
- Burns caused by an electric arc resulting from work with an electrical hazard. live work, work in the vicinity of live parts, cut-off or reconnection of the power supply, etc.
- Presence in the surroundings of high voltage pylons.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Rules for acting
- Maintain safety distances in the area in which this work is being carried out.
- Workers who are in the vicinity of these operations (including welders’ assistants) are to be suitably protected, either with the pertinent PPE or by screening off the area.
- To avoid the risk of burns resulting from jobs with an electrical hazard, all the precautions and procedures mentioned in the measures listed for preventing electric Contacts are to be applied.
*Adequately ventilate welding work. - Use masks or breathing devices when necessary (both the welder and his assistant).
Personal protection
- Appropriate protection via welder’s screens, apron, sleeves, leggings and safety footwear.
- Jobs with and electrical hazard. those protections indicated for controlling the risk of electrical Contact.
- Protective screen against UV rays (cream).
- Possibility of using tinted safety goggles (sunscreen).
* Masks or breathing devices if necessary.
Procedures to apply
- ITP06.
- Exposure to hazardous chemical pollutants at the client’s facilities: PC0526.
