1. 1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY 16 mars 2018 3

Quick Assessment § Use the table to make quick assessment of installations : - At your arrival - When renting a new place § § Available on kitlog online Useful to do a quick assessment of the 5 essential safety rules § If the building is noted : • 0 to 3 / 10 : Building need emergency works, HQ advisor must be notified • 4 to 7 / 10 : Works are to be planned. It is necessary to plan adapted budgets to perform it during the next 6 months • 8 to 10 / 10 : The building is at minimum standard level. You can plan small works to improve user’s safety conditions 16 mars 2018 4

Basic safety rule #1 No possibilty of direct contact = 1 pt § That happens especially with detached switches and outlets, when an equipment is removed and not replaced, on bad connection of two wires § If you notice nude wires or any possibility of direct contact, you have to make works to avoid them 16 mars 2018 5

Basic safety rule #1 § As a vehicle, an electrical installation need a maintenance § That must be planned and budgeted : City apartment 300 à 500 € 16 mars 2018 Individual building 1000 € Isolated Compound 1500 € 6

Basic safety rule #2 No electricity more close than 1, 5 m from water No wire, socket, switch or electrical equipment of any kind That concerns bathrooms, kitchens, any room with tap, … And also water dispensor ! Because of possible leackage Water Computer UPS Photocopier 16 mars 2018 7

Basic safety rule #2 Whatever skills or countries, a local electrician is able to create a new socket outlet and to disconnect and seal the old one. Do not wait the incident or somebody obliges you to do it ! => Remove these items from water immediately 16 mars 2018 8

Basic safety rule #3 Electrical panel (switch board) = 3 pts Building must have an electrical switch board Correctly fixed, without signs of burn With adapted protections 1 pt 16 mars 2018 2 pt => 1 pt 3 pt 9

Basic safety rule #3 All equipement must be protected by circuit breaker or fuses § If you don’t have any circuit-breaker or fuses on your building, your situation is an emergency. You have to contact an electrician to make works, or the HQ referent at least § If you have, make a test : switch all them off and verify if some equipment still supplied. If yes, that means that they are not protected. You have to contact an electrician to make works 16 mars 2018 10

Basic safety rule #4 Size of cables = 1 pt 16 mars 2018 11

Basic safety rule #4 Wires have to respect minimum standard sizes § An under-sized cable if hot, and can burn. If you don’t have any electrical notion, but you touch a wire and you feel it is hot, it is not normal ! and you have to change it. § That mainly happens with heavy equipment (boilers, heaters, air conditioning, …), with long wires, and with overload multi-plugs. § Wire undersized is the first cause of fire starts ! § Please refer to electrical and saftey guidelines to choose the size of wires. 16 mars 2018 12

Basic safety rule #5 Equipment using water or made of a steel frame must be connect to the earth = 2 pts § To verify it, you can buy an outlet tester => § If you don’t have earth connection on heavy equipment and equipment with steel frame, you must contact an electrician to install it. § Be careful if you want to verify it without tester : to have an earth cable in you socket outlet don’t mean that this cable is connecter to this earth. § If you don’t have earth connection on your building, the minimum protection you can install is a differential circuit breaker 16 mars 2018 13

Basic safety rule #General If you have any doubt, don’t touch… …and ask a local electrician or the HQ Most of the time, send a picture will be enough to : § Identify and evaluate the problem § Explain what works to do and how § Plan incoming costs, … § To not care of installation maintenance is like transform maintenance operation in renewal operation § Renewal costs are often heavy and can not be taken in charge by the mission 16 mars 2018 14
