Basic information for safety precautions

Most common causes of accidents (burns and electric shocks) in electrical and
electronic laboratories are carelessness in handling laboratory equipment,
inattentiveness in operating the laboratory equipment, and lack of knowledge on the
laboratory procedures and laboratory materials’ specifications.
Developing safety work habits depends on a right attitude, a feeling that you want to
work safely. With this, you need to understand the safety rules and practices for your
activities as well as follow the rules and practices. Failure in following safety rules and
practices can injure you and others and can even destroy properties. These may be
prevented by using electric energy safely and properly, and by strictly following the
instructions.
