Electrical Safety and Tools
How to work safely with different types of tools, and what you should do if the tools you are using have not been examined or are faulty.
Learning Content:
- Workers must be trained and competent before operating power tools.
- Cartridge-operated tools operate like a gun and can be dangerous in inexperienced hands.
- The main function of guards on cutting and grinding machines is to stop fragments flying into the air and to prevent the operator coming into contact with the blade or wheel.
- The recommended maximum voltage for construction sites is 110 volts with a yellow connector.
- Residual Current Devices (RCDs) should be fitted between the plug of a 230 volts tool and the supply socket.
- RCDs work by cutting the power quickly if there is a fault and should be mechanical (trip) tested before each use.
