Electrical Safety
| Notice the danger signs |
On all electrical equipment you use, watch for signs
of wear on the cable and insulation problems where it connects to
the plug or equipment. Replace or rectify as necessary. |
| Plugs and Fuses |
If you put a mains plug on a piece of equipment, follow the wiring
colour code:
BROWN - LIVE
BLUE - NEUTRAL
GREEN-YELLOW EARTH
Use the correct fuse for the equipment.
|
| Water and electricity |
Wet electrical equipment is very dangerous. Disconnect from
the mains before touching it. Beware of wet heating mantles. |
| Safety Testing |
All portable electrical equipment (i.e. equipment that can
be unplugged) must be tested regularly.
New, second-hand and old equipment must be tested before being brought
into use.
Equipment that carries a “Failed” sticker must never be
used. |
