Electrical Safety - Do's
Electrical power is an invisible
hazard, it’s a good servant but a bad master if its not handled with the
required precautions & control measures. The main cause for electrical
accidents in industry and even in home are exposed live wires, bare live
conductors, open switches, temporary/loose/hanging wires; fuses, inadequate
knowledge and unsafe working methods.
Only qualified & experienced, authorized
employees should be allowed to undertake electrical works.
Treat all circuits as live unless
ensured dead by testing and voltage verification.
Ensure extension cords are free
from cuts, damaged insulations, kinks or joints.
Ensure that pins of the socket/plug
are not loose.
Ensure easy and safe access to put
off the power supply,
While using any portable electrical
equipment, ensure that it is properly earthed, no leakage of current though the
body of the equipment.
Use double insulated portable electrical
power tools.
