Electrical Safety Video
Electricity is one of the hazard sources in industrial chemical plant. Electrical hazards have to be identified, assessed their risks and controlled with the most appropriate hazard control method.
In fact, electric is the main source of power to drive machines, tools and rotary equipments in plant operations. Extra care should be given when we try to do preventive maintenance or overhaul on motors, rotary equipment, or machines, because the possibility of threatened by electric is increased.
A short electrical safety video below will show you some hazards that are associated with electric power.

70-E is a great tool, and should be widely used.
What 70-E does not cover is the danger from non-certified electrical equipment in the workplace, and what to do if you come across it. OSHA requires all electrical equipment in the workplace to be listed or labeled by a nationally approved testing laboratory, yet even OSHA rarely cites this law (29CFR1910.303a, 29CFR1910.399 definitions).
For more information take a look at these articles, one has several examples of industrial equipment, the second deals with medical equipment. Any comments are welcomed.
