Each piece of machinery comes with certain safety precautions when using them in the perioperative environment. Since almost all injuries in the OR result in human error, it is important to follow these precautions to ensure patient and operating staff safety.

There is one certain technique that is called barehanding . “Barehanding” is a safe way for trained transmission linemen to work on high-voltage power lines, while being attached to a fully energized conductor (tower or helicopter). This technique is used to perform required maintenance such as replacing insulators, connecting hardware, and conductors on the transmission lines. It isn't very common but the idea of barehanding is growing. Barehanding can be dangerous

This requires the employer to assess and minimise any risks when working with electricity or electrical equipment.

Electrical: any electrical equipment/ tools used are safe, no bare wires showing or covers open to reveal workings.

In addition to unsafe equipment, there may

In 2013, Pedro da Silva Oliveira, died maintaining in an elevator in São Luís, situated in the northeast of Brazil. He was alone doing the maintenance when received a strong electric discharge without any safety equipment. The group responsible for expertise detected live wires and water on the floor. When the paramedics came to the scene of the accident Pedro was already dead. This accident could be avoided by many ways because there is many faults in this accident, such as if he was using the safety equipment, if the site had been cleaned before the maintenance, if someone was supervising him, if the power were off. Work if electricity is always hazardous, be negligent is fatal.

Many times, risks faced by contractors exist at no fault of their own. That is, in some cases the contractor is bound by a design that places specific hazards on the construction site. Designers who are cognizant of and responsive to their effort on construction safety would aid in making jobsites safer for construction workers (Gambatese et al, 1997). Situations such as these led the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to create a safe design concept, prevention through design. Prevention
