Examples of portable electrical equipment includes but not limited to powered hand tools, powered bench tools, fans, radios, etc.
|
|
The following safety rules apply to portable electrical equipment:</h4>
|
|
<ul class="list">
|
|
<li>Portable electrical equipment shall be handled in such a manner as to not cause damage.
|
|
Power cords may not be stapled or otherwise hung in a way that may cause damage to the outer jack or insulation. </li>
|
|
<li>Portable electrical equipment shall be visually inspected for damage, wear, cracked or split outer jacks or insulation, etc.
|
|
before each use or before each shift. Any defects must be repaired, replaced, or put out of service. </li>
|
|
<li>Always check the compatibility of cord sets and receptacles for proper use. </li>
|
|
<li>Ground type cord sets may only be used with ground type receptacles when used with equipment requiring a ground type conductor. </li>
|
|
<li>Attachment plugs and receptacles may not be altered or connected in a way that would prevent the proper continuity of the equipment grounding conductor. </li>
|
|
<li>Only portable electrical equipment that is double insulated or designed for use in areas that are wet or likely to contact conductive liquids may be used. </li>

|
<li>After a protective circuit is disconnected or opened, it may not be connected or closed until it has been determined
|
|
that the equipment and circuit can be safely energized. </li>
|
|
<li>Over current protectors of circuits or connected circuits may not be modified, even on a temporary basis, beyond the installation safety requirements. </li>
|
|
<li>Only qualified employees may perform tests on electrical circuits or equipment. </li>
|
|
<li>Test equipment and all associated test leads, cables, power cords, probes and connectors shall be visually inspected for external damage before use.

|
Any damage or defects shall be repaired before use or taken out of service. </li>
|
|
<li>Test equipment shall be rated to meet or exceed the voltage being tested and fit for the environment in which it is being used. </li>
|
|
<li>Where flammable or ignitable materials are stored, even occasionally,
|
|
electrical equipment capable of igniting them may not be used unless measures are taken to prevent hazardous conditions from developing. </li>
