 It’s vitally important to take safety precautions when working with electricity.
Safety must not be compromised and some ground rules need to be followed first.
The basic guidelines regarding the safe handling of electricity documented below will
help you while working with electricity.

Safety is everyone's priority in all workplaces, therefore everyone must follow

the safety rules and regulations in a workplace especially when dealing with
electricity. Safety precaution is a must.

This rule always applies to all industrial work as well as electrical workers. Develop
a good habit of workmanship. These are generally three kinds of accidents, which
appear all too frequently among electrical students and technicians. You’re studying
about them and observing simple rules will make you a safe person to work with.
You could personally be saved from painful and expensive experiences – you might
be saved to live rewarding retirement age.

Safety is simply a matter of applying common-sense precautions. The rules of

safety are concerned with the prevention of accident injury. First aid involves the
treatment of injuries sustained when an accident occurs.

The general rules of shop safety apply equally to the electrical-electronics

laboratory

The following shop safety rules should always be observed.

1. Don’t clown around or engage in horseplay –many painful injuries are

caused by the careless and thoughtless antics of the “clown”
2. Get your teacher’s approval before starting your work –this will save
your time and help prevent accidents. Remember, your teacher is there to
help.
3. Report all injuries at once -even the slightest. A small cut can develop a
serious complication if not properly treated.
4. Wear safety glasses –when grinding or working in areas where sparks or
chips of metal are flying. Your eyes are a priceless possession.
5. Keep the floor around your working area clean and free from litter –
which might cause someone to slip or stumble.
6. Use tools correctly – do not use them if there are not in proper working
conditions. And use appropriate tools for a specific job.
7. Observe the proper methods of handling and lifting objects –get help to
lift heavy objects.
8. Do not talk or disturb a fellow student –when he is operating the
machine.
9. Never leave a machine while it is running or running down –stay with
it until it stops completely.

 Probably the best advice anyone can follow when working with electricity is
“THINK PLAN AHEAD!!!”

The following are special safety rules for electrical-electronics laboratories:

1. Although the normal healthy person will encounter dangerous voltage while
performing the laboratory activity, circumstances occur under which a surprising
electric shock may be experienced. Surprising shocks, while not particularly
dangerous in themselves, may cause secondary injury through a violent muscular
contraction that can hurl a person against a wall or workbench or possibly another
more dangerous source of current.
2. Practice a precaution used by experienced engineers and technicians. Always keep
one hand in your pocket or behind you when measuring current and voltage. If
two hands are in contact with the circuit, the current flows across the chest and
heart regions, which is very dangerous.
3. If in doubt, about the wiring of the circuit, ask the teacher to check it out before
you apply power. Electricity has no respect for ignorance.
4. Make it a habit to short electrolytic or other large-value capacitors with an
insulated screwdriver before attempting to work on a circuit. The capacitor can
hold a charge for a long time after the power is removed.
5. Know the location of the fire extinguisher.
6. Certain components such as resistors and vacuum tubes get quite hot while
operating. Give them time to cool off before attempting to remove them.
7. Do not work around electrical equipment if floors are damp.
8. Do not work on an electrical circuit while power is on.
9. Be sure equipment I in proper working order before use. Frayed power cords and
cracked or chipped plugs are major sources of accidents.
10. Ask for instruction before using any item of test equipment for the first time.
Even if you think you know how to use it. A little knowledge can be a dangerous
thing;
and if something can go wrong, it will. Test equipment is often expensive to repair.
11. Electricity – Electronics is a tremendous field and most of us do well to
understand the small segment of it. Ask questions when in doubt. BE HUMBLE.
