Ten safety rules in electrical workshop
Answers
Answer:
Safety Rules
Explanation:
Rule 1:
When it is necessary to handle equipment that is plugged in, be sure hands are dry and, when possible, wear nonconductive gloves, protective clothes and shoes with insulated soles.
Rule 2:
Never use metallic pencils or rulers, or wear rings or metal watchbands when working with electrical equipment. This rule is very easy to forget, especially when you are showing some electrical part pointing with metallic pencil.
Rule 3:
Use only tools and equipment with non-conducting handles when working on electrical devices.
Rule 4:
Avoid contact with energized electrical circuits. Please don’t make fun of this rule if you already know this (and you probably already know if you are reading these lines) and remember that if something bad occurs – you probably won’t have second chance. That’s not funny.
Rule 5:
Disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing electrical equipment.
Rule 6:
If water or a chemical is spilled onto equipment, shut off power at the main switch or and unplug the equipment.
NEVER try to remove water or similar from equipment while energized. Afterall, it’s not good to do so.
Rule 7:
If an individual comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, do not touch the equipment, cord or person. Disconnect the power source from the circuit breaker or pull out the plug using a leather belt.
Tricky situation, and you must be very calm in order not to make the situation even worse.
Rule 8:
Never touch another person’s equipment or electrical control devices unless instructed to do so.
Rule 9:
When it is necessary to touch electrical equipment (for example, when checking for overheated motors), use the back of the hand. Thus, if accidental shock were to cause muscular contraction, you would not “freeze” to the conductor.
Rule 10:
Do not wear loose clothing or ties near electrical equipment. Act like an electrical engineer, you are not on the beach.
