WORKSHOP SAFETY AND TOOLS COMMONLY USED IN APPLIED ELECTRICITY WORKSHOP

A workshop is a space equipped for hands-on projects, often with tools and equipment tailored to a specific trade or activity.

Tools commonly used in an electrical workshop include:

  1. Multimeter: Measures voltage, current, and resistance to diagnose electrical issues.
  2. Wire Strippers: Used to strip insulation from wires for connections.
  3. Screwdrivers: Needed for opening electrical panels and tightening screws.
  4. Pliers: Grip and bend wires, or hold components in place.
  5. Wire Cutters: Snip wires cleanly and precisely.
  6. Soldering Iron: Joins wires or components together by melting solder.

Safety precautions in an applied electricity workshop

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear insulated gloves, safety glasses, and non-conductive footwear.
  2. Power Off: Always disconnect power sources before working on electrical systems.
  3. Inspect Tools: Ensure tools are in good condition to prevent accidents.
  4. Avoid Water: Keep tools and yourself dry to prevent electric shock.
  5. One Hand Rule: Use only one hand when working on live circuits to reduce the risk of electric shock crossing the heart.
  6. Work Area Organization: Keep the workspace clean and organized to prevent tripping hazards and to easily locate tools and materials.
  7. Training: Ensure all workers are trained in electrical safety practices and emergency procedures.
