Typical hazards & measures
Electric shock from faulty appliances
— Do a visual check each day for cracks, exposed wires, damaged plugs, or scorching. Remove from service immediately if found. Keep a risk-based PAT schedule, label pass/fail, and use only approved repairs. Test after repair before returning tools to use.
Blade/guard changes while powered
— Isolate first: unplug or remove battery and verify off. Use cut-resistant gloves where appropriate, secure small parts in trays, and test reassembly on a dummy pass before touching skin. Record any nicks; replace worn guards promptly.
Repairs by unqualified persons
— Use competent repairers; document fault, parts and post-repair tests. Fit correct cable types/grommets; never bypass safety interlocks. Re-PAT after repair and return to service only with a pass label and register update.
Extension leads in poor condition
— PAT-check extensions, reels and splitters; unwind reels fully during use to prevent overheating. Replace damaged sheaths or crushed plugs; label load limits clearly; assign extensions to stations to prevent unsafe ad-hoc sharing.
Tool selection in high-moisture areas
— Choose tools with suitable ingress protection and sealed switches for humid zones; avoid cord joints on floors; lift connections off damp surfaces. Provide extra towels for moisture control; relocate sockets away from splash zones.
