Lab Safety and Tools

If proper procedures are followed, the electronics lab is a safe place in which to work. There are some
basic rules:

1. No food or drink is allowed in lab at any time.


2. Liquids are of particular danger as they are ordinarily conductive.
3. While the circuitry used in lab is normally of no shock hazard.
4. Spilling a bottle of water or soda onto such equipment could leave the experimenter in the
receiving end of a severe shock.
5. Similarly, items such as books and jackets should not be left on top of the test equipment as it
could cause overheating.
6. In the event of an emergency, all test equipment may be powered off through this one switch.
Further, the benches are controlled by dedicated circuit breakers in front of the lab. Next to this
main power panel is an A/B/C class fire extinguisher suitable for electrical fires. Located at the rear
of the lab is a safety kit.
7. This contains bandages, cleaning swaps and the like for small cuts. For serious injury, the Security
Office will be contacted.
8. A lab bench should always be left in a secure mode. This means that the power to each piece of test
equipment should be turned off, the bench itself should be turned off, all AC and DC power and
signal sources should be turned down to zero, and all other equipment and components properly
stowed with lab stools pushed under the bench.
9. It is important to come prepared to lab. This includes the class text, the lab exercise for that day,
class notebook, calculator, and hand tools.
