Answer 1

Things to be considered in the laboratory wiring are,

Use power strips that have circuit breakers or fuses. Do not link power strips in series.

Place cords so that they are not subjected to mechanical stress or temperature that could damage the insulation. Do not leave cables and cords unsecured and hanging in areas where they can pose a trip and movement hazard.

Do not conceal cords behind or attach electrical cords to building surfaces.

electrical tape to insulate wires or use a guard as cover to prevent accidental contact.

Do not block access to electrical panels.

Make sure that you don’t install standard electrical equipment in locations where flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or other easily ignitable materials are present. If electrical equipment is used in a chemical fume hood, elevate it to allow efficient air flow.

Keep electrical equipment at a minimum in high-moisture areas (e.g., wash rooms, cold rooms

Use electrical cords only if they are in good condition. Cords must not be cracked, frayed, or have corroded prongs.

Never use 3-to-2 prong adapters unless other grounding provisions have been made. Plug 3-prong plugs into 3-prong outlets.
