School Lab Safety Guidelines

The document is a risk assessment for a school activity or task involving handling electrical components. It identifies hazards such as electric shock, fire from electrical causes, and allergies. Controls currently in place include using a low-power battery source, insulating components properly, teacher supervision, fire exits and extinguishers, and keeping work areas clean. Further actions identified are instructing students on safe handling and disconnecting circuits when not in use, as well as collecting allergy information. Physical injuries from tripping or heavy objects are also addressed by moving heavy objects and maintaining proper distances.
