    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH

    ELECRTRICITY

     Avoid contact with energized electrical circuits. Please don’t make fun of
    this rule if you already know this (and you probably already know if you
    are reading these lines) and remember that if something bad occurs –
    you probably won’t have second chance

     Treat all electrical devices as if they are live or energized

     Disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing electrical


    equipment.

     Use only tools and equipment with non-conducting handles when working
    on electrical devices.

     Never use metallic pencils or rulers, or wear rings or metal watchbands


    when working with electrical equipment. This rule is very easy to forget,
    especially when you are showing some electrical part pointing with
    metallic pencil.

     When it is necessary to handle equipment that is plugged in, be sure


    hands are dry and, when possible, wear nonconductive gloves, protective
    clothes and shoes with insulated soles.

     If it is safe to do so, work with only one hand, keeping the other hand at
    your side or in your pocket, away from all conductive material. This
    precaution reduces the likelihood of accidents that result in current
    passing through the chest cavity.

     Minimize the use of electrical equipment in cold rooms or other areas


    where condensation is likely. If equipment must be used in such areas,
    mount the equipment on a wall or vertical panel.

     If water or a chemical is spilled onto equipment, shut off power at the


    main switch or circuit breaker and unplug the equipment.
     If an individual comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, do not
    touch the equipment, cord or person. Disconnect the power source from
    the circuit breaker or pull out the plug using a leather belt.

     Do not rely on grounding to mask a defective circuit nor attempt to correct


    a fault by insertion of another fuse or breaker, particularly one of larger
    capacity.

     Drain capacitors before working near them and keep the short circuit on
    the terminals during the work to prevent electrical shock.

     Enclose all electric contacts and conductors so that no one can


    accidentally come into contact with them

     Never handle electrical equipment when hands, feet, or body are wet or
    perspiring, or when standing on a wet floor.

     When it is necessary to touch electrical equipment (for example, when


    checking for overheated motors), use the back of the hand. Thus, if
    accidental shock were to cause muscular contraction, you would not
    “freeze” to the conductor.

     Be aware that interlocks on equipment disconnect the high voltage


    source when a cabinet door is open but power for control circuits may
    remain on.

     De-energize open experimental circuits and equipment to be left


    unattended.

     Do not wear loose clothing or ties near electrical equipment.
