INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The most common causes of electrical hazards in the

world include unsafe equipment or installation, unsafe

environment, and unsafe work practices. Unsafe work

environments increase the risk of electrical accidents, and

water, rain, and wet conditions have negative effects on

electrical safety. Cluttered workspaces increase the risk of

accidents whether electricity is involved, and missing

equipment guards, overhead power lines, and the use of

extension cords can also contribute to an unsafe electrical

environment (Abdullahi S., Adewale A., & Adisa R., 2019)

Outdated or poor wiring, leaving appliances plugged in

near water sources, wrong wattage light bulbs, and

overloaded circuits are also common electrical hazards found

in homes. Faulty wiring is the second-leading cause of

electrical residential fires, resulting in 13% of all

residential structural fires and an average of 390 deaths

each year (Karter M. J., & Karami A., 2019).

Electrical hazards are a significant concern in the

Philippines, and electrical burns are one of the most

distressing trauma injuries in the country. Accidental

contact of overhead electrical power lines by metal poles is

the primary cause of electrical burns in the Philippines.

Most of the patients admitted to hospitals due to electrical

burns were high voltage electrical injuries, and a

significant percentage of them had severe electrical burns

and associated traumatic injuries (Barretto T. Z., & Tan R.

H., 2017).

In addition to accidental contact with power lines,

other common electrical hazards in the Philippines include

outdated or poor wiring, leaving appliances plugged-in near

water sources, using wrong wattage light bulbs, and

overloading circuits. Unsafe equipment or installation,

unsafe environment, and unsafe work practices are also

common causes of electrical accidents that can result in

mild to severe injuries (Acuna J. R. P., & Mendoza N. B.,

2019).

Senior high school students may be at risk of

electrical hazards due to their lack of knowledge and

experience in handling electrical equipment. The main

hazards associated with electricity are contact with live

parts causing shock and burns, and faults which could cause

fires.
 Common electrical hazards in school include unsafe

appliances, overloading of electrical circuits, improperly

installed air conditioning/heating units, and poorly

maintained essential lighting systems. Identifying unsafe

appliances is an important safety measure in any school

environment, and appliance testing and tagging by a trained

professional delivers assurance of the safe condition of

electrical devices (Sajid M. R., & Iqbal M. T., 2021).

This study, the researcher aims to determine the Study

of Electrical Hazard Identification and Preventive Measure:

Evaluation of Electrical Safety and Practices of senior

Grade 12 EIM students of Handumanan National High school.

Theoretical Framework

This study was anchored by Smith, J. A. (2015).

Applying system theory to electrical safety: a comprehensive

approach. Journal of Safety Engineering, 12(3), 45-57.

Smith proposes applying a system theory approach to

electrical safety as a way to better understand and manage

electrical safety risks.

Based on Smith's theory, electric hazard is not a

simple cause-and-effect relationship but rather a complex

system where multiple factors can contribute to an

electrical hazard or incident. Electric hazard can result

from a combination of factors, such as the electrical

equipment and components, people who interact with them, the

work environment, and the policies and procedures in place.

In the Smithian theory, electrical hazards are seen as

part of a larger system and must be approached through a

comprehensive risk assessment and management process that

takes into account all of the interrelated components and

processes involved.

According to Smith, J.A.(2015), this approach involves

viewing electrical safety as a complex system with multiple

interacting components and developing a comprehensive

approach to identify and manage electrical hazards.

Smith, J.A.(2015) emphasizes that this approach to

electrical safety should consider both technical and non-

technical factors, such as organizational culture and human

factors, in order to achieve optimal safety outcomes. This

includes implementing appropriate technical control

measures, such as lockout/tagout procedures and PPE, as well

as addressing non-technical factors through promoting a

culture of safety within the workplace, providing training

and education to workers, and encouraging workers to report

and address any electrical safety concerns.

Conceptual Framework

The Conceptual of the study focuses on relationship

between “Electrical hazard identification and preventive

measure” and “Evaluation of electrical safety and practices”

the result of which be the basis for mitigation to the

workers. To resolve the problem, the researcher has proposed

a conceptual framework that guide the flow of the researcher

in its entirely.

For a clearer understanding of the Conceptual

Framework, a schematic diagram of the study is illustrated
