Safe handling of batteries and capacitors
a. Always visually inspect the batteries and capacitors before starting work; look for signs of distress and leakage. b. Take precautions to guard battery terminals against short circuiting by covering the terminals with insulating tape or insulating mats. c. Ensure all batteries and capacitors are correctly and securely mounted. d. Ensure the batteries and capacitors are wired with the correct polarity as per the wiring diagrams and that all terminals are tight. e. Defective batteries and capacitors must be disposed of in accordance with local legislation. F. Insulated tools approved for the rated voltage must be used when working around live, exposed conductors Compressible (e.g. nitrogen) and non-compressible (e.g. hydraulics) fluids under pressure An isolation device shall ensure a reliable disconnection or separation from an energy source
