Tag and report them as unsafe immediately. Remove metal jewellery, watches, rings, etc., before working on electrical circuits. Minimize the potential for liquid spills on or near electrical equipment. Never place containers of liquid, including beverages, on or near electrical systems. Always know the electrical ratings of equipment you use, and be sure you use that equipment within its ratings. Never overload circuits. Turn off power and unplug equipment before checking or replacing fuses. Locate and correct the cause of a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker. Never defeat the purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker. Never install a fuse of higher amperage rating than that specifically listed for the circuit. Complete all your wiring and check it carefully before turning on the power supply. If you are at all uncertain, have it checked by someone else preferably a Lecturer or Tutor. When a setup or circuit is to be reconfigured or rewired, turn the power supply off. It is also good practice to disconnect it physically from the power supply. Make sure metallic equipment chassis or cabinets are earthed. Never cut off or defeat the protective earth connection on a plug.
