• All electrical equipment is low voltage to prevent electric shock.

• There is possibility of burns when connecting and disconnecting components. Thus, all students will receive a briefing about the correct use of electrical components to avoid short circuit.

• We will advise students about safe working practices on basic use of hand tools, e.g. screwdrivers, scissors, staples etc. to avoid the risk of cutting or abrasion.
