Equipment for General Use - Appliances |

Along with receptacles and light fixtures, appliances are found in most
workplaces. Electrical appliances such as portable air conditioning units, coffee-makers, and fans must not have any exposed live wires or electrical parts that might create an electric shock hazard. Exceptions to this are appliances such as space heaters or toasters that must have exposed current-carrying parts that operate at high temperatures to transfer heat. The heat generated by these parts minimizes the possibility of direct contact and resultant electric shock. Each appliance shall be marked with its rating in volts and amperes or volts and watts. All appliances must have a disconnecting means. |
