Electrical safety - Guidelines for risk early-warning
1 Scope
This document provides general principles and logical processes for early-warning of
electrical safety risks. It gives the information on the determination of early-warning
risk elements, the monitoring of early-warning risk elements, the determination of
early-warning levels, early-warning measures and early-warning assessment.
This document is applicable to electrical safety risk warning for electrical equipment
and systems of which the AC rated voltage is 1000V and below, the DC rated voltage
is 1500V and below.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this
document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions defined in GB/T 4776-
2017, GB/T 22696 (all parts) as well as the followings apply.
3.1 early-warning
The general term for activities that monitor and predict possible abnormal states or
emergencies and issue alarms based on the regularity and experience of electrical safety
risks, as well as the possible residual risks of electrical equipment and systems.
3.2 electrical safety risk early-warning system
5 Early-warning risk elements
5.1 Principles for determining early-warning risk elements
The principles for determining early-warning risk elements include but are not limited
to.
- objective;
- related;
- systematic;
- traceable;
- Combination of qualitative and quantitative.
5.2 Sources of early-warning risk elements
Based on historical data (such as hazard and accident records) and electrical safety risk
assessment results, according to the principles of early-warning risk elements, the
sources include but are not limited to the following.
- Risk elements for electrical equipment and systems.
● Residual risks;
● Risks of failure of protective measures (for example, according to the protective
measures taken by the user);
● Risks associated with using the information, such as risks not disclosed in the
instructions.
- Risk elements of the environment, such as the effect of changing environmental
conditions on personnel and/or equipment.
- Risk elements for personnel, such as moving within a non-moving range, not
wearing or not properly wearing protective equipment, equipment that requires
professional operation is operated by non-professionals without permission.
- Risk elements of human-machine collaborative operation, such as the accuracy of
information transmission.
5.3 Influencing factors for early-warning risk elements
Early-warning risk elements are affected by the following factors.
- Severity of the injury caused by the early-warning risk element.
- Possibility that the early-warning risk element may cause injuries.
● Potential for exposure of personnel and/or electrical equipment and systems to
hazardous situations;
● Probability of occurrence of a hazard;
● Possibility of technology and personnel to avoid or limit injury is affected by
factors such as personnel skill level, safety knowledge, experience, and the
speed at which injury occurs.
5.4 Description of early-warning risk elements
The description of early-warning risk elements includes the description of basic
information, trigger information and injury information, including.
- Basic information is the information description of the normal state of electrical
equipment and systems, environment, and personnel related to electrical safety. It
may include. classification, use, mobility, operation of electrical equipment;
environmental information such as altitude, temperature and humidity,
atmospheric pressure, rain and snow; personnel attributes such as professionals,
trained personnel (electrical) or non-professionals;
- Trigger information is the information description of the trigger factors for the
development of early-warning risk elements into electrical safety hazards. It may
include. unsafe state of electrical equipment and systems, unsafe state of the
environment, unsafe behavior and state of personnel;
- Injury information is the description of the electrical safety hazards that may be
caused by early-warning risk elements. It may include. injury type, injury outcome,
injury nature, injury severity.
6 Monitoring of early-warning risk elements
6.1 General principle
The monitoring of early-warning risk elements shall be subject to the overall
arrangement of the early-warning system.
- Facilities and environment;
- Choice of monitoring method;
- Data identification rules;
- Quality control.
The factors affecting the stability of monitoring data include, but are not limited to.
- Monitoring data error deviation;
- Monitoring data identification deviation;
- Discreteness of monitoring data.
7 Rating of early-warning
7.1 General principles
According to the risk index determination method specified in GB/T 34924-2017,
according to the following priority principles, determine the rating of early-warning.
a) People-oriented. The rating of early-warning risk elements causing per...
