Thread Content

Electrical safety and preventive measures: 1. If smoke is observed from electrical equipment or an unusual odor (burning smell) is detected, the power supply should be turned off immediately, and an electrician should be called to inspect and repair the equipment, in order to prevent the fault from spreading and avoid electric shock accidents. 2. When repairing electrical equipment, the operator must not leave without permission; they should stay to supervise and wait for a test run after the repairs are completed. 3. It is prohibited to enter the electrical room or electrical construction site without permission from the relevant authorities. 4. If damaged wires are found, they should be replaced promptly or tied up with insulating tape; it is strictly prohibited to use ordinary tape or other types of adhesive tape for wrapping them. 5. The installation and maintenance of electrical equipment shall be carried out by certified electricians. 6. Be familiar with the location of the main air circuit breaker (commonly known as the main switch) in your production area or dormitory (such as workshops, construction sites, offices, dormitories, etc.). In the event of a fire, electric shock, or other electrical accident, the power supply should be cut off immediately to prevent greater property losses and casualties. 7. Ensure proper grounding protection for the metal casings of electrical appliances that are required to have grounding, or install leakage protectors; do not forget to use three-wire sockets and plugs along with grounding wires. 8. Value electrical resources and develop good habits of using electricity safely and conserving it. When leaving for an extended period or not using the equipment, make sure to turn off the power supply (especially for electric heating appliances) before leaving. 9. When operating live equipment, do not touch the live parts with your hands, and do not use your hands to touch conductive parts in order to determine whether there is electricity present. 10. Electrical appliances and equipment with mechanical transmissions must be equipped with guards, shields, or protective fences to ensure safe use; it is not allowed to insert hands or any part of the body into the areas where the mechanical transmission components are located while the equipment is in operation. When cleaning the equipment, it is necessary to ensure that the power supply is turned off, the machinery has stopped working, and all safety measures are in place to prevent injuries or fatalities. 11. If you encounter a fallen wire, stay at least 8 meters away from it and never try to pick it up with your hands. At the same time, make sure to take care of the exposed wires and have an electrician handle them, to prevent anyone from getting too close and suffering an electric shock. 12. The installation and maintenance of electrical equipment shall be carried out by certified electricians.
