Working with Electrical Equipment
															Health and safety when working with electrical equipment is essential to prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Below are some key considerations to keep in mind when working with electrical equipment.
- Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): PPE such as insulated gloves, safety glasses, and hearing protection can help protect you from electrical hazards.
 - Perform regular equipment maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of electrical equipment can help prevent breakdowns and reduce the risk of electrical fires and explosions.
 - Use appropriate tools and equipment: Always use the right tools and equipment for the job, and ensure they are in good condition before use.
 
- Implement electrical safety protocols: Follow established electrical safety protocols such as lockout/tag-out procedures and ensure that electrical equipment is de-energized before maintenance.
 - Maintain proper ventilation: Electrical equipment can produce hazardous fumes, so ensure proper ventilation is in place in order to prevent respiratory issues.
 - Keep the work area clean and clear: An organised work area reduces the risk of trips and falls, which can lead to electrical accidents.
 - Complete electrical safety training: Ensure you have received adequate electrical safety training, and always follow the recommended safety procedures and guidelines.
 
By following these tips, you can help ensure the health and safety of yourself and those in close proximity when working with electrical equipment.
