Electrical Safety Reminders # Only licensed electricians are permitted to work on electrical systems and equipment that use or control electrical power. # Do not operate electrical tools or equipment in wet areas or areas where potentially flammable dusts, vapors, or liquids are present, unless specifically approved for the location. # Should a circuit breaker or other protective device trip ensure that a licensed electrician checks the circuit and equipment and corrects problems before resetting the breaker. # Report hazards (lack of protective guards or covers, damaged equipment, etc.) to the building manager, Department of Facilities, Environment Health and Safety department or supervisor immediately. # Discard any piece of equipment that gives you even the slightest shock. If the resistance through your body is lowered i.e. standing in water or touching metal, even the slightest shock can be deadly. # Do not leave electrical boxes, switch-gear, cabinets, or electrical rooms open when not directly attended. Insulate energized parts when covers have been removed or doors are ajar. The use of cardboard, plywood, or other flammable materials to cover energized circuits is prohibited. # Junction boxes and electrical panels need to have proper covers in place to conceal all wiring. Hard wiring should not be exposed/accessible to non-electrical employees. # Re-route electrical cords or extension cords so they dont run across the aisle/corridor or over pipes or through doors. # Never use electrical equipment in or around water. # De-energize equipment before removing any protective covers or guards. # Dont use an electrical outlet or switch if the protective cover is ajar, cracked, or missing. # Remove any combustible materials, such as paper and wood from the area. Be sure flammable liquids and gases are secured away from the area when the appliance is in use. # Never put conductive metal objects into energized equipment. # Remove cord from the outlet by pulling the plug instead of pulling on the cord. # Dont carry equipment by the cord - only by the handle or base #kichu
