OSHA 10 Hour Electrocution

________ a tool or electrical system means intentionally creating a low-resistance path that connects to the earth.

• Insulating
• Circuiting
• Grounding
• Breaking

This term is also called live, or hot, which means that a voltage is present and it can cause an electrical current. Any time an electrical current is present, there is a risk of being shocked.

• Deenergized
• Energized
• Shocking Current
• Current

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) works by comparing the amount of current going to and returning from equipment along the circuit conductors. When the amount going differs from the amount returning by approximately 5 milliamps, what does the GFCI do?

• Interrupts the voltage
• Interrupts the current
• Shocks the individual
• Destroys the electrical device

Oxygen tanks can explode if the gas is ignited. Why is this?

• Oxygen is not flammable
• Oxygen is flammable
• Oxygen causes an arc flash
• Oxygen releases thermal energy

An electric shock can result in anything from a slight tingling sensation to immediate cardiac arrest. The severity depends on the amount of current flowing through the body, the current’s path through the body, the length of time the body remains in the circuit, and the current’s ________.

• Level
• Height
• Sound
• Frequency

Which of these is not required for current to flow through a conductor?

• Something to transport the current
• Source of electrical current
• Something that has air molecules

Which word completes the blank in the following statement? An electrical shock happens when electric ________enters the body at one point and leaves through another.
