Electrical Safety Quizziz

What is the purpose of lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures?

• To prevent the unexpected release of hazardous gases, fluids, or solid matter; To prevent contact with operating equipment parts; To protect workers from injury while working on or near electrical circuits and equipment.

• To ensure that all equipment is running at maximum efficiency.

• To provide a method for workers to communicate about safety procedures.

• To allow workers to bypass safety protocols when necessary.

What is the main hazard associated with overloading an electrical circuit?

• Electrical shock

• Fire hazard

• Equipment damage

• Power outage

Which of the following is a safe practice?
Options:

• Holding fingers on switch button while carrying a plugged-in tool
