What electrical hazards can you identify at home/school?

1. Electrical Overload: Plugging too many devices into a single outlet or power strip
can overload the electrical circuit, which can cause overheating and start fires.
2. Damaged or frayed cables: Worn, frayed or broken electrical cables can cause
short circuits and electric shocks. It is important to regularly check the cables and
replace them if they are damaged.
3. Incorrect use of plugs and adapters: Plugging too many plugs or adapters into a
single outlet can overload the circuit and cause a fire. It is also dangerous to use
three-prong plug adapters on two-prong outlets.
4. Faulty electrical installation: A poorly made or defective electrical installation
can represent a serious danger. This includes improperly connected cables, faulty
switches, or loose outlets.
5. Using electrical devices near water: Using electrical devices near water, such as
hair dryers or radios, can increase the risk of electric shock. It is important to keep
electrical appliances away from water and dry your hands before handling them.
6. Lack of surge protection: Electrical surges can damage electronic devices and
cause fires. It is important to use surge protectors on outlets to protect devices.
7. Use of defective or uncertified electrical equipment: Using defective or
uncertified electrical equipment can be dangerous. It is important to buy electrical
equipment from trusted brands and ensure that they are certified by safety
agencies.
8. Failure to follow safety rules when handling electrical equipment: Failure to
follow safety rules when handling electrical equipment, such as unplugging by
pulling on the cord instead of the plug, can increase the risk of electrical
accidents.

What type of electrical safety do you apply in your daily life?

1. Use of surge protectors: Surge detection and protection can be implemented


in electrical circuits to prevent damage to electronic devices.
2. Automatic disconnection systems: Automatic disconnection systems can be
included in case abnormal currents or short circuits are detected, to avoid risks
of fire or further damage.
3. Proper insulation design: Proper insulation measures can be implemented to
ensure that there is no current leakage that may cause electric shock.
4. Remote monitoring: Remote monitoring systems can be incorporated to
detect electrical problems, such as overloads or equipment failures, and take
preventive or rapid response measures.
5. Compliance with electrical safety standards: In my development and
operation, electrical safety standards and regulations can be followed to ensure
safe and reliable operation
Are there electrical inspections in your workplace or educational center

In our workplace and also in our study center there are professional inspections
in order to safeguard the lives of students and workers.
In any case, if a failure can be seen, we can notify the people in charge of the
educational center so that they can carry out the correct maintenance.
