      - DEFINITIONS :pencil2: what is it? it's the invisible force of attraction or repulsion between electric charges, that can produce some physical effects such as heat, light, motion. Electric charges in a body are balanced in normal conditions, that is the number of protons equals the number of electrons. if we create a difference of potential between two charges, we can produce a current. Current is the flow of electrons through the wire due to a difference of potential between the two end of that wire

        it's also recommended to keep clear access to equipment shutoffs in case you need to stop them quickly.
      - wear the correct safety equipment

        if you are on the desk keep your shoulders in line with your hips to avoid back problems
      - use mechanical aids whenever possible
        
        take your concerns about workplace stress to your supervisors to see how they might help you address them.
      - be aware of your surroundings
        
        this step requires knowledge of the particular risks of work or the workplace
      - keep emergency exits easily accessible
        
        if you're not wearing the correct safety equipment for a task, you may get injured.
