This sample clip is from our 18 minute Electrical Contact Release Training video.
People who receive an electric shock are unable to release themselves from contact with an energized conductor or circuit part. These incidents likely prove fatal without immediate assistance gaining release. It is important to be aware of your surroundings when around electrical parts and equally as important to try your best to not come in contact with live electrical parts.
This is why the NFPA 70E requires that all workers who may be exposed to electric shock receive annual contact release training as well as those who are responsible for responding to a shock event. The NFPA 70E is a safety standard published by the National Fire Protection Association and is widely considered to be the leading authority for electrical safety in the workplace.
After watching the program, the participant will be able to explain the following:
- How the human body acts as a conductor with electrical currents;
- The effect electrical currents have on the human body;
- The best way to recognize and assess a shock event;
- How to perform first aid for someone who’s been a victim of a shock event.

*my ass frying like a gas station hot dog while my coworkers spend 20 minutes trying to find the certified stick to pull me off a live circuit*🥴

They say don’t try to pull the victim away but what about knocking/pushing them off of the power source? Running tackle ?

Voltage through a float switch in a tank has got me a few times. Keep it 24V or less please!

Water in itself is not a conductor of electricity. The impurities mixed in water is what conducts electricity

[@warpig4942]

Technically true but it would be counterproductive to say this. All water we will ever contact out there has impurities and is very conductive. It is not likely someone is standing in a bucket of pure distilled water while receiving a shock.

I’ve understood that water isn’t a great conductor of electricity. But the interaction causes the electricity to skim across the top of the water. It can’t penetrate deeply through water. Being under water is safer than being on the surface in the case of a lightning strike. Water provides lots of resistance

What is the cal/cm2 of metal sheets based on thickness?

[@charlievoss718]

Why not shut off the main breaker?

[@Vfdsforlife]

Live work just kinda happens. If we can power it down we will but you always have circumstances that you can't that's why they make hot gloves and arc flash suit

This was useless
