There are various ways of protecting people from the hazards caused by electricity, including insulation, guarding, grounding, and electrical protective devices. Laboratory users can significantly reduce electrical hazards by following some basic precautions:
Inspect wiring of equipment before each use. Replace damaged or frayed electrical cords immediately. Use safe work practices every time electrical equipment is used. Know the location and how to operate shut-off switches and/or circuit breaker panels. Use these devices to shut off equipment in the event of a fire or electrocution. Limit the use of extension cords. Use only for temporary operations and then only for short periods of time. In all other cases, request installation of a new electrical outlet.
Multi-plug adapters must have circuit breakers or fuses. Place exposed electrical conductors (such as those sometimes used with electrophoresis devices) behind shields. Minimize the potential for water or chemical spills on or near electrical equipment.
Keep away from the energized or loaded circuits. Sources of electricity and exposed circuits must be guarded. Disconnect the device from the source in the period of service or maintenance of the device. Disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing electrical equipment. Handling the equipment that is plugged in, if it is necessary, hands or contacting parts must be dry and, wear non-conductive gloves and insulated-soles shoes. If it is safe to work with only one hand, keep the other hand away from all conductive material. This step reduces accidents that result in current passing through the chest cavity. Utilization of electrical equipment in cold rooms must be minimized due to condensation issues. If it is imperative to use such areas, the equipment must be fixed on a wall or vertical panel. If the device interacts with water or other liquid chemicals, equipment must be shut off power at the main switch or circuit breaker and unplugged. If an individual comes in contact with a live electric, do not touch the equipment, source, cord or individual. Disconnect the power source from the circuit breaker or pull out the plug using a leather belt.
