This document outlines various safety measures that must be followed when working in an electrical lab. Key rules include: only entering the lab with permission, behaving orderly, inspecting equipment for damage before use, never stripping wires with teeth or knives, not disconnecting plugs by pulling cables, ensuring circuits are clear before energizing conductors, turning off the main switch before replacing fuses, using screwdrivers when working on circuits, standing on rubber mats, properly positioning ladders, using earth connections, and disconnecting power immediately in emergencies. Proper safety precautions are necessary to prevent accidents like electrical shocks.

IN THIS SLIDESHOW WE ARE
GOING TO LEARN ABOUT SOME OF
THE SAFETY MEASURES WE HAVE TO
FOLLOW WHILE WE ARE IN AN
ELECTRICAL LAB
ELECTRICAL SAFETY

3. You must not enter a lab unless you have
permission from a technician or lecturer.
You are expected to arrive on time and not depart
before the end of a laboratory.
You should behave in an orderly fashion at all
times in the lab.
You must not stand on the stools or benches in the
laboratory.
GENERAL LAB SAFETY RULES

4. 
You should inspect laboratory equipment for
visible damage before using it. If there is a
problem with a piece of equipment report it to
the technician or lecturer. DO NOT return
faulty equipment to a storage area
Never strip insulation from a wire with your
teeth or a knife, always use an appropriate
wire stripping tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY

5. 
WE MUST NOT DISCONNECT ANY
PLUG BY PULLING FLEXIBLE CABLE

6. 
YOU MUST NOT ENERGISE ANY
CONDUCTOR UNLESS YOU ARE SURE
THAT EVERYTHING IS CLEAR AND
NOBODY IS IN CONTACT WITH THAT
PARTICULAR CIRCUIT

7. 
DO NOT USE A COMBINATION
PLIER AS A HAMMER

8. 
REMEMBER TO OFF THE MAIN
SWITCH BEFORE REPLACING THE
FUSE

9. 
USE SCREWDRIVERS WHEN
WORKING ON ELECTRICAL
CIRCUITS

10. 
DO NOT TOUCH BARE
CONDUCTORS

11. 
STAND ON RUBBER MATS WHILE
WORKING OR OPERATING WITH ELETRCAL
PANELS OR SWITCHES

12. 
POSITION THE LADDER ON
FIRM GROUND

13. 
USE ALWAYS EARTH CONNECTION FOR
ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES ALONG WITH
3 PIN SOCKETS AND PLUGS

14. 
Disconnect the supply immediately.
Do not throw the water on a live
conductor or equipment. It is dangerous
because water is conductor of
electricity.
Throw dry sand or dust on the fire
equipments.
Use carbon tetrachloride or liquid
carbon dioxide type fire extinguishers.

15. 
PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
 Avoid contact with energized circuits.
 Disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing
electrical equipment.
 Work with only one hand, keeping the other hand behind you
or in a pocket
 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 .
