When working with wires and chemicals simultaneously, it's crucial to exercise caution. Ensure wires are properly insulated and protected from contact with any chemicals to prevent corrosion or short circuits. Maintain separate workspaces for electrical and chemical tasks to minimize the risk of accidental exposure or damage to equipment. Always follow safety protocols, use appropriate protective gear, and be aware of the potential hazards posed by combining these elements in the work environment. #safetycourses #safetyofficer #hseprofessionals #hsetraining #hse #hsejobs #safetytraining #healthandsafetytraining #neboshobe #onlineorientation #safetyprofessionals #behaviouralsafety #safetyculture #safetyconsulting #safetytraining #COSHH #safetyawarenes #safetyatwork #safetyfirst #safetycareer #abudhabhijobs #safetyingulf #safetyjobs #experttrainersacademy
