First aid care may require : <br /> • Moving the victim to a cooler environment. <br /> 11 • Loosen victim's clothing. <br /> • If fainting seems likely, have the victim lie down with feet elevated 8 to 12 inches. <br /> • Provide the victim with sips of cool water. <br /> l • In severe cases of heat stress, obtain emergency medical assistance . <br /> 6.2.2 Electrical Hazards <br /> Ignorance of basic electrical principles and misuse of electrical equipment contribute to many <br /> accidents. The human body's resistance can be drastically reduced by working with wet tools, <br /> in wet or damp locations, or around metal piping or other grounding materials . Other factors <br /> affecting the severity of electrical injuries include the path of the current through the body, and <br /> the vital organs in that path, and the duration of the current through the body. <br /> 1 <br /> There are many ways an employee can come into contact with energized circuits. The most <br /> common of these are contact with exposed live parts and overhead or buried power lines . <br /> When working in the vicinity of live electrical parts, such as exposed wires, switches, or contacts, <br /> L electrical power in the vicinity should be turned-off using Lock-out/Tag-out procedures. If on- <br /> site operations do not prevent the disconnection of power, all electrical parts must be guarded <br /> from contact by effective insulation or other means. If that is not possible, the circuit must be <br /> 1 opened and visibly grounded. <br /> Sierra-Pacific Groundwater Consultants, Inc. 13 <br /> I <br />
