Accident & Prevention Causes of Accidents: 1) Unsafe Acts: - Use defective and unsafe tools. - Use of tools or equipment too close to energized parts. - Not draining off stored energy in capacitors. - Overloading outlets with too many appliances.

2) Unsafe Equipment: - Loose connections - Faulty insulation - Improper grounding (removal of 3rd prong) - Defective parts - Unguarded live parts

3) Hazardous Environment: An accidental static discharge can cause a fire or explosion in areas where the following are present: - Flammable vapors, liquids and gasses - Combustible dusts - Corrosive atmospheres - Explosive environments - Poor housekeeping

Principles to Prevent Accident - To prevent injury to the premature death of employees. - Reduce operation and production costs. - Have good employee employer relations. - High up the moral of employees above all the prevention of accidents. - Use of personal protective devices. - Safety activities in organization.
