SAFETY RULES

 Safety is an important aspect in the use of electrical

appliances
 May result in accidents and injuries as well as damage
to property and loss of life
 3 categories of safety ;
A) Personal safety
B) Safety of tools and equipment
C) Workshop safety and enviroment

(B) SAFETY OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS

1. Insulation
- Protecting, covering and isolating electrical conductor
to prevent the electrical current from flowing
- Material used as an insulator must be high resistance
such as rubber and PVC
2. Earthing
- Connecting metal parts in electrical circuit to the
ground.
- Prevent user from electrical shock when current leakage to
any metal parts
3. Protective devices
- Disconnecting the circuit when there is an overflow of
current
- Using fuse and circuit breaker

(C) WORKSHOP SAFETY AND
ENVIROMENTS
 Equipment and furniture are safety
 Enough lighting
 Neat and clean
 Minimizes of noise
 Prevent doorways from blocked
 Complete and save PPE(Personal Protect Equipment)
 Clear instruction or SOP

 Safety in Wiring Lab

 Obey the signage and

work instructions given by
instructors in the lab.
 Always wear a pair of
safety shoes when enter
the lab. (slippers or
sandals are not allowed!!)
 Wear suitable costume
and Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) for
wiring/installation job.
Safety in Wiring Lab

Use a test pen for

electrical current
absence testing
under 500V life line.
Screw driver is not
! a tester!!
Don’t touch any
bare life parts or
conductor lines
when the current is
supplied!!

Extinguisher when fire
happened and follow the
firing procedure.

Inform the instructor/s as

soon as possible when
accident or uncertainty
condition happened.

 PPE

• Hand gloves • Safety shoes

– Wear to protect hand – Wear to protect foot from
from sharp edge and hitting by heavy/sharp
easy handling of edge/objects and
certain goods prevent shock current

Safety In Electrical
Installation
 Isolation
o All of circuit installation must have a method
to isolate the main supply from loads
o Installation and isolation must be easy to see
 Fuse
o An appropriate fuse rate must be used to
protect loads and user from over leakage
current
 Earthing / grounding
o All of metal/G.I. and auto transformer parts
must be grounded
o All of earthing duct must be strong enough
Safety Precaution

NEVER WORK ON
EQUIPMENT WITH THE
POWER TURNED ON!

Points to remember

 Never take for granted that a circuit is ‘dead’. Use test

pen for confirmation.
 Always disconnect power supply if want to leave
even for a short while
 Keep the tools and equipment in good working order.
