Typical hazards & measures
Improper storage and transport
— Store tools in padded holsters/cases; coil cables loosely using over-under technique and avoid tight ties. Keep drawers tidy with dividers so plugs aren’t crushed; transport in hard cases between sites with desiccant packs for humidity control.
Counterfeit or non-compliant chargers/cables
— Buy from verified suppliers; check plugs, fuses and markings. Quarantine unbranded/mismatched chargers; standardise models to reduce mix-ups; keep spares logged and PAT-checked. Train staff to spot sub-standard components.
Housekeeping around sockets and vents
— Keep sockets accessible and free of hair; don’t block vents with towels or retail displays. Mount multi-banks at bench height to avoid floor contamination and kicks; include weekly checks in opening routines.
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.
Event or mobile setups without fixed protection
— For shows/home visits, carry an RCD-protected distro board, pre-checked extensions, and a pocket tester. Avoid leads under rugs, keep chargers off soft furnishings, and confirm supply capacity with hosts before starting.
