As electricity powers most equipment,it's an invisible hazard in which we find ourselves surrounded.

Any disrespect could easily result in shock,fire,serious burns or even death. fortunately with the advent of residual current devices(RCD). these hazards have been substantially reduced frequently also called safety switches.

These devices very rapidly shut off electridity when dangerous electrical conditions have been detected.

Nevertheless before using any electrical equipment.the operetor must ensure all leads and plugs are in good condition and have a current electrical test tag.never use electrical equipment that has been damaged or has missing insulation or covers.

Electrical equipment must remain clean and dry at all times,be in good condition and maintained by suitably qualified staff.most importantly,never reset tripped rcds or circuit breakers without first investigating the cause.

If in any doubt always seek supervisory advice.
