Current in milliamperes Effect on the human body
Less than 0.5 mA No sensation
2 to 10 mA Muscles contract
5 to 25 mA Painful shock, inability to let go
Over 25 mA Violent muscle contractions
50 to 100 mA Heart convulsions (ventricular fibrillation), possible death
Over 100 mA Heart paralysis, inability to breathe, burns, almost certain death
Effect of Electric ShockEffect of Electric Shock

High Pressure InjuriesHigh Pressure Injuries
• Mechanical refrigeration uses pressures above atmospheric pressure– Must be contained– Vessels must not burst– Pressures change with temperature

• Designed for “normal” pressures– If overheated may “give” somewhat– When limit of elasticity is reached, will burst
• Large parts may be blown out• If bulge is noticed, relieve pressure immediately

Explosion InjuriesExplosion Injuries
• Explosion and flammability are related• Confined vapor seeks more room
– Pushes outward with tremendous force• “Explosion”
• Difference in catching fire vs. exploding– Exploding includes violent force

Toxic GasesToxic Gases
• Toxic = poisonous• Refrigerants and other gases vary in toxicity
– Ammonia and sulfur dioxide are highly toxic
• Harmful effects are based on– Nature of gas– Concentration– Length of time breathed

Cold Weather Danger: HypothermiaCold Weather Danger: Hypothermia
• Hypothermia– Shivering– Loss of consciousness– Decreasing pulse and breathing
• If symptoms are shown– Call emergency services– Move to warm area
• Dress in layers

Accident ReportingAccident Reporting
• All must be reported without delay• Follow these steps
– Report to supervisor immediately– Employer keeps record of accident– Current codes are reviewed– Leave the site intact
