Basic information for safety precautions

Most common causes of accidents (burns and electric shocks) in electrical and electronic
laboratories are carelessness in handling laboratory equipment, inattentiveness in operating the
laboratory equipment, and lack of knowledge on the laboratory procedures and laboratory
materials’ specifications.
Developing safety work habits depends on a right attitude, a feeling that you want to work
safely. With this, you need to understand the safety rules and practices for your activities.
Failure in following safety rules and practices can injure you and others and can even destroy
properties. These may be prevented by using electric energy safely and properly, and by strictly
following the instructions.
