The High-voltage applications are essential for the efficient operation of complex machines and systems. However, strict safety regulations must be adhered to in order to ensure the safety of employees. Here are the five most important rules for handling high-voltage applications in heavy-duty use:
- Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE): Before working on high-voltage applications, employees must wear suitable PPE such as insulated gloves, safety goggles and special clothing to protect themselves from electrical hazards.
- Regular training: All employees working on high-voltage applications must attend regular training courses to keep their knowledge of safety regulations and procedures up to date.
- Switch off beforehand: Before maintenance work is carried out on high-voltage systems, the system must be properly switched off and locked to ensure that no electrical energy flows. Only then may work begin.
- Emergency plan: In the event of an accident or malfunction on a high-voltage system, a clear emergency plan must be in place that specifies how employees should react. All employees should be informed about the emergency plan and carry out regular emergency drills.
- Proper insulation and marking: High-voltage installations must be properly insulated and marked to minimize the risk of electric shock.
