Chemistry & ElectricityQuestion 90 of 100
Which practice reflects correct electrical safety in a treatment room?
a.Running several devices through one outlet with a daisy-chained adapter
b.Handling a plugged-in device with wet hands after removing a mask
c.Inspecting cords for fraying, plugging one appliance into one outlet, keeping cords out of walkways, and unplugging by grasping the plug rather than pulling the cord
d.Leaving all devices switched on and plugged in overnight for faster warm-up
Explanation
Cord inspection, one appliance per outlet, clear walkways, and grasping the plug prevent shock, fire, and trip hazards, and equipment should be unplugged when not in use. Overloading an outlet is a leading cause of salon electrical fires. Touching a plugged-in device with wet hands risks electrocution, and leaving units powered overnight is both a fire and an energy hazard.
