ELECTRICITY SHOP SAFETY RULES

1. Do not work when you are tired or taking medicine that makes you drowsy. 2. Do not work in poor light. 3. Do not work in damp areas. 4. Use approved tools, equipment, and protective devices. 5. Do not work if you or your clothing is wet. 6. Remove all rings, bracelets, and similar metal items. 7. Never assume that a circuit if off. Check it with a device or piece of equipment that you are sure is operating properly. 8. Do not tamper with safety devices. Never defeat an interlock switch. Verify that all interlocks operate properly. 9. Keep your tools and equipment in good condition. Use the correct tools for the job. 10. Verify that capacitors have discharged. Some capacitors may store a lethal charge for a long time. 11. Do not remove equipment grounds. Verify that all grounds are in tact. 12. Do not use adaptors that defeat ground connections. 13. Use only an approved fire extinguisher. Water can conduct electrical current and increase that hazards and damage. Carbon dioxide and certain halogenated extinguishers are preferred for most electrical fires. Foam types may also be used in some cases. 14. Follow directions when using solvents and other chemicals. They may explode, ignite, or damage electrical circuits. 15. Certain electrical components affect the safe performance of the equipment. Always use the correct replacement parts. 16. Use protective clothing and safety glasses when handling high-vacuum devices such as television picture tubes. 17. Do not attempt to work on complex equipment or circuits before you are ready. There may be hidden dangers. 18. Some of the best safety information for electrical and electronic equipment is in the literature prepared by the manufacturer. Find it and use it 19. Never turn on the power without permission of the instructor. 20. No horseplay in shop or classroom. 21. Do not leave shop area without permission of instructor. 22.
