SAFETY
Safety is not a resource, it is not an influence, it isnot a procedure and it certainly is not a program.
Safety is state of mind, an atmosphere that mustbecome an integral part of each and everyprocedure that everyone should have.
This, then is what we mean by built in or
integrated safety. It is only band of safety that ispermanently effective.

Safety During Construction ofHT/LT lines under DMS
To check for the availability of underground installations like waterline, sewer line, electric/telephone cables etc. and to collectinformation from local people and concerned authorities and also totake proper precautionary measures against the same.
Arrange display caution boards(Bilingual i.e. Local language &
English/Hindi) & Barricade with Red Flag.
Excavated material to be kept at least 1.5m or half the depth of thepit, whichever is more, away from the edge of the pit.

Safety During Construction ofHT/LT lines under DMS
All workmen working inside the pit must wear safety helmets, gumboots, hand gloves etc.
Shoring and shuttering is to be provided to prevent pit collapse,where necessary.
Ladders must be use for entering in the pit.
No Single man should be allowed to work inside pit.
Proper first aid should be available at the site.

Safety During Pole erection
Before starting the Pole erection, it is to be ensured that the pit foundationhas been properly cleared.
Ensure that Erection gang should have sufficient man power strength,skill and experience for the job.
Competent and experienced supervisors/gang leaders to remain presentduring the entire erection work.
Derricks/ladders and other load bearing T&Ps like wire rope, PP rope,D-shackles, pulleys etc. to be used for erection work, must be of good
quality confirming to IS specification etc., sufficient capacity for the job,tested/calibrated and have proper test certificates.
T&Ps are to be thoroughly checked for their healthiness daily before use.

Continued.
All supervisors/workmen at erection site must wear safety helmets and safetybelts who ever working at site.
All buckles of safety belts are to be properly tightened and the safety rope must
always be anchored to a strong support. Improper use of safety belt will notoffer any protection against a fatal fall.
Chin strap & Back strap of safety helmet must be tightened so that the helmetshould not fall during the work.
All safety equipment must be CE/ISI marked.
Guys provided during erection are to be anchored to a strong anchorage point.

Continued.
If crow-bars are used for this purpose then the same are to be driven tothe ground up to full length. Two crow-bars driven to the ground in acrossed manner may be used as one anchoring point, depending on soilconditions.
Maximum permissible angle between the guy rope and horizontal plane is450
Rope should be of joint/cut free
When pulleys etc. are tied to the pole footing through wire rope/PP rope,the same should be protected against damage by the sharp edges ofpoles by providing a padding of old tires, folded gunny bags etc.
Proper first-aid box should be available at the site. And at least oneperson should be trained for first aid technique.

Safety During Stringing
Stringing gang should have sufficient skill and experience for the job.
T&Ps are to be thoroughly checked for their healthiness daily before use.
Stringent checking should be done to ensure all the poles have been permanently earthed.
As far as practicable, jumpers are to be left disconnected until all the work of the line iscompleted.
Conductors should not be left in such a position that it may cause danger to generalpublic.
Inspection of hardware fittings is to be done at site to check for any crack or otherdamage before fixing them to the poles.
For crossing any existing charged line, shut down and PTW for the existing line must betaken and proper procedure of earthing should be followed during earthing and removalof the same after completion of the work.

Precautions while crossing LT lines
Network of the lines in the vicinity is to be thoroughly checked and adequateprecautionary measures should be taken to prevent inadvertent charging of the linewhich is to be crossed.
PTW and shutdown are to be taken for HT line before taking up recon-ducting/LT work
below HT line. The point of isolation of the HT line must be properly protected by manning the point
till the completing of the job and removal of all men and material from the site.
The point of isolation must also be kept under strict lock and key.
Both sides of the working area must be protected by providing with temporary earths.
Proper quality of discharge rods are to be used. All the connecting points of the
discharge rods must have solid connections.
Check the discharge rod connections at earth end and conductor and have solidcontacts. Ensure that connecting lead is of sufficient capacity and free from all cutsand scratches

Continued.
Discharge rods shall remain connected to the LT line until all men andmaterial are removed form the line. No one should be allowed to touchthe line after the discharge rods have been removed, even if the LTline is under shut down.
Discharge rods to be used for construction activities should conform tothe relevant IEC standard.
Electrical resistance hand gloves should be provided and used fordoing such type of work.
Lines required to be crossed and on which shut down need to be
availed, should be short circuited and earthed at both sides of the areaof work immediately after taking the shut down.

Electric Shock Effects
There are a lot of factors involved and not every person has the same electricalresistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than women. Just likefor the resistors used in electronics, the resistance of a persons arm depends on the
arms length and diameter. Resistance goes up with length and down with
diameter. Since men tend to have thicker arms and legs (more muscle), they usuallyhave lower resistance. (An implication of this is that the lethal current for men ishigher than that for women.) A rough value for the internalresistance of the humanbody is 300-1,000 Ohms. Naturally, the resistance also depends on the path thatelectricity takes through the body - if the electricity goes in the left hand and out theright foot, then the resistance will be much higher than if it goes in and out ofadjacent fingers.
Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat -nerves and muscle have the least resistance. That said, the majority of the bodys
resistance is in the skin - the dead, dry cells of the epidermis (the skins outer layer)
are very poor conductors. Depending on the person, the resistance of dry skinisusually between 1,000-100,000 Ohms. The skins resistance is much lower if it is wet
or burnt/blistered. This means that when a person is electrocuted in real life, thebodys resistance drops as the skin is burned.
