Question
1) Discuss the safety measures to be taken while operating electrical devices
Answer
◇Avoid water at all times when working with electricity.
◇Never touch or try repairing any electrical equipment or circuits with wet hands. It increases the conductivity of the electric current.
◇Never use equipment with frayed cords, damaged insulation or broken plugs.
◇If you are working on any receptacle at your home then always turn off the mains.
◇It is also a good idea to put up a sign on the service panel so that nobody turns the main switch ON by accident.
◇Always use insulated tools while working.
◇Electrical hazards include exposed energized parts and unguarded electrical equipment which may become energized unexpectedly.
◇Such equipment always carries warning signs like “Shock Risk”.
◇Always be observant of such signs and follow the safety rules established by the electrical code followed by the country you’re in.
