Electrical Safety

3. path for the flow of current
5. that injury or death will occur
6. protection device that has an internal part that melts and shuts off the current in a circuit if there is an overload
7. Safety and Health Administration-Federal agency in the U.S. Department of Labor that establishes and enforces work-place safety and health regulations
8. current/electrical current that passes through a part of the body
11. ground potential (0 volts) because of a connection to ground
12. much current in a circuit
13. breaker/overcurrent protection device that automatically shuts off the current in a circuit if an overload occurs
14. opening (turning off) of a circuit by a GFCI or circuit breaker
15. person - someone who has received mandated training on the hazards and on the construction and operation of equipment involved in a task
16. of an electrical current, measured in amperes
17. of electrical force
19. current/any current that is not in its intended path
21. that does not conduct electricity easily
24. protective equipment (eye protection, hard hat, special clothing, etc.)
25. of measurement for electrical resistance
26. of energy used each second, measured in watts
27. or barrier that separates you from live electrical parts
28. electrical connection to the earth
30. gauge/wire size or diameter (technically, the cross-sectional area)
31. fault/loss of current from a circuit to a ground connection

1. wiring/permanent wiring installed in homes and other buildings
2. off the energy sources to circuits and equipment and depleting any stored energy
4. of electrical charge
9. resuscitation-emergency procedure that involves giving artificial breathing and heart massage to someone who is not breathing or does not have a pulse (requires special training)
10. used to describe the rate of electrical output
18. electrical discharge (bright, electrical sparking) through the air that occurs when high voltages exist across a gap between conductors
20. electrical parts to assure a conductive path
22. ability to decrease or stop electrical current
23. in which an electrical current moves easily
29. used to measure current
