1. Identify all electrical safety hazards. What are some ways to avoid electrical shocks?

1:
 Damaged tools and equipment
 Inadequate wiring and overloaded circuits
 Exposed electrical components
 Incorrect grounding connection
 Damaged insulation
 Wet and water-affected conditions.
Some of the measures to take to prevent electric shocks are: repairing damaged and exposed cables,
maintaining order and cleanliness in the area, avoiding overloading extension cords, keeping all electrical
devices away from water sources, and respecting the marked zones with the risk of electrical danger.
