This book is written mainly for attorneys, physicians, and investigators who are concerned with accidents associated with electric current. It is based on approximately 50 years of personal research, augmented by experience in teaching medical and biomedical engineering students and as an expert witness in litigation involving electrical injury. The material is presented in two ways: non-technically, for attorneys and physicians, and technically, for their expert witnesses and engineers. Since there is no typical electrical accident, the accidents described and the material presented in the chapters are selected to aid the reader in explaining the cause of any particular electrical accident.The first chapter presents a short history of electrical accidents, along with selected accident descriptions in the home, work place, and hospital. Chapter 2 deals with the fundamental processes whereby electric current stimulates excitable tissue, such as sensory receptors, nerves, and muscles. The response to the passage of low-frequency alternating current through the body-e.g., muscle stimulation, ventricular fibrillation, and burns-is covered in Chapter 3. Lightning and lightning injuries are discussed in Chapter 4. The effects of high-frequency (electrosurgical and diathermy) currents-and the types of injury encountered-are discussed in Chapter 5. Because current preferentially seeks tissues with the lowest resistivity, Chapter 6 provides knowledge of the resistivity values for tissues, organs, and body fluids, allowing estimation of the current path. The same chapter presents information on the resistance of body segments and of a contacting conductor, showing the nonlinear nature of such contacts where tissues are boiled, charred, and burned.

Product Description: This is an accident-avoiding prescription for electricians, safety managers, and inspectors, and engineers dealing with electricity any voltage level. Presenting crucial protective safety strategies for industrial and commercial systems, the Handbook references all major safety codes (OSHA, NEC, NESC, and NFPA) where appropriate, creating a unique, one-stop compliance manual for any company’s electrical safety training and reference needs...read more

The American Society of Safety Engineers announces the publication of the new Fourth Edition of its popular Illustrated Guide to Electrical Safety. First published in 1983, the Illustrated Guide is designed as a training, educational and informational tool for use by the safety professional, employer, compliance officer, educator, and almost everyone else charged with electrical safety. It contains a wealth of relevant, practical information on many common electrical requirements and safety practices, all formatted and illustrated for easy interpretation. The Fourth Edition contains revisions in the 1999 NEC™ as applied to CFR 1910 Subpart S. The editor has also added commentary to coordinate CFR 1926 Subpart K with CFR 1910 CFR Subpart S where there are differences. Information on OSHA’s Safety-Related Work Practice requirements has been expanded to include coverage of the 2000 version of NFPE 70E regarding Hazard/Risk Analysis and the use of Personal Protective Equipment. Special features of this new edition include: · Improved page layout—editor’s comments immediately follow related regulations. · Improved graphics to help clarify application of regulations. · Expanded comments on the use of insulated tools and PPE. · Commentary on grounding, formerly an appendix, has been integrated into the body of the text. · New tables added to explain dielectric gloves, rubber insulating equipment, and the hazard/risk category of common electrical tasks.

A companion to the RCA Electrical Principles text, the RCA Electrical Principles Video Series introduces the viewer to electrical theory and its applications through an overview of important concepts, equations, and practical examples. The series contains a set of eight, 20-minute videos, covering direct and alternating current, as well as an introduction to Single Phase Motors. Full-color graphics and animations illustrate important concepts, creating a visually appealing presentation that is easy to follow and understand. Create a direct link between your education/training program and the construction industry! For the first time, textbooks are available for many of the residential crafts - including carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and facilities maintenance - that are based on national standards developed by the nation's leading builders and remodelers. The result of a strategic partnership between the Home Builders Institute (HBI) of the National Association of Home Builders and Delmar Learning, this new series from the Residential Construction Academy is the perfect way to introduce people of all ages to the building trades while guiding them to development of essential workplace skills. Ideal for use in vocational programs, workforce development programs, professional associations, and trade unions, all materials are based on national standards set by the construction industry. As a result, they are sure to develop a workforce that is skilled, knowledgeable, and able to meet the needs of the contractors who are hiring trades people today and well into the future. Program review, and certification, plus a national registry of students who have successfully completed units of instruction, are also available to participants in this exciting, new program.

Product Description: Managing Electrical Safety provides an overview of electric basics, hazards, and established standards that enables you to understand the hazards you are likely to encounter in your workplace. Focusing on typical industrial environments―which utilize voltages much higher than household or office circuits―the author identifies the eight key components of an electrical safety program and examines each using a model safety management process...read more
