1.
Exposure to an electrical hazard can lead to a serious injury or death.
These hazards can come from several sources, such as faulty wiring or faulty
equipment. 2.
Avoid electrical hazards by using electrical equipment appropriately.
Do not use them for something they are not designed to do. Check the power
cables to ensure that they are not damaged before turning on a piece of
equipment. Plug all equipment into a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter if it
is near a water source (our labs have these). 3.
If you see someone being electrocuted, the most important this to
remember is to NOT TOUCH THEM to avoid getting electrocuted yourself. Call
911 immediately and if possible, try to turn off the equipment or trip the breaker (DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF IT IS NOT SAFE). |
