Typical hazards & measures
Cleaning fluids on live equipment
— Unplug and cool tools before cleaning; spray disinfectant onto a cloth, not into vents/sockets. Keep liquids away from switches, never immerse non-washable parts, and allow complete dry-time before reconnecting to power.
Fire from electrical faults or aerosols
— Store aerosols/alcohols away from heat; keep vents clear and unplug idle tools. Don’t drape hot tools over flammables. Maintain clear exits and serviced extinguishers; brief staff on isolating power and safe use of sprays near electrics.
Battery charging and thermal runaway
— Use only manufacturer chargers; inspect packs for swelling/cracks. Charge on non-flammable surfaces, avoid stacked chargers, and don’t leave charging unattended overnight. Keep ventilation space and remove any pack that runs hot.
Untrained use or cleaning of tools
— Induct staff on setup, safe grips, isolation before blade changes, and correct cleaning agents. Provide quick reference guides at stations; re-check competence yearly and after incidents. Document training; restrict high-risk tasks to trained staff.
Inadequate PAT inspection frequency
— Set a risk-based plan: daily visuals, weekly user checks, and formal inspection/testing at intervals suited to use and environment. Log asset ID, test date, results and next due; quarantine fails with clear tags and notify for repair/disposal.
