We should look around the tools, Make sure they are safe and Usable, Also look at the sockets. Have a Small wift to make sure there is no Flammmiblic sign. Look at the Plug and Exenstension cord to make sure there is no Cuts, Exposed wires. Also Make sure it is a Dryland area where u are using the tools (Sunny outdoors, Dry Indoors)
What do I do if something is wrong? ( Fault Reporting )
If there was a Hazard, I would Shut off all tools, Contact the Supervisor and Explain the issue, I would also Depending on the scenario, Contact Fire/Emergency services. I would if i had to Evacuate everyone (Cord gets exposed to water) and also Rainy days Contact supervisor to push back a day or 2.
