1. PCB equipment
has to be used with great care. Health and safety is important at every
stage of producing a PCB (printed circuit board). Look carefully at the
equipment shown below and list two safety rules for each one. |

|
| ETCHING TANK |
| |
|
RULE 1: Use plastic tongs to place
pcb into tank. Do not use hands / fingers as the chemicals are
dangerous. |
|
|
|
RULE 2: Wear
goggles/visor and appropriate safety clothing when placing pcb
in the tank and also when removing it. Chemicals are dangerous if
‘splashed’ on to the user. |

|
RULE 2: |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| PCB DRILL |
| |
|
RULE 1: Ensure that the PCB is
clamped / held securely so that the drill does not ‘spin’ it round
causing an accident to hands / fingers. |
|
|
|
RULE 2: Wear
goggles when drilling in case the PCB shatters or pieces are
thrown off into the face. |

|
|
|
POSSIBLE ANSWER |
|
|
|
|
|
| SOLDERING IRON |
| |
|
RULE 1: Check the
condition of the electrical cord. A damaged cord can lead is
highly dangerous, especially if the soldering iron is rated at 240
volts |
|
|
|
RULE 2: Ensure the
PCB is held securely and not in the hand. Soldering iron tips are
extremely hot |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| SAFETY GOGGLES |
| |
|
RULE 1: Wear
safety goggles when drilling or at anytime the eyes are in danger.
For example, soldering or using the brazing hearth. |
|
|
|
RULE 2: Wear the
correct standard goggles for the process. A British Standards code
is stamped on every pair of goggles. This determines for which
process the goggles are suitable. |
