Storage and Handling of Tools

Storage and Handling of Tools

Tools are of many forms and sizes and, when stored and handled carelessly, can easily cause accidents. To avoid this, storage facilities must be provided in the electrical workshop. Tools may be stored in:
a. tool box
b. tool kit,
c. tool rack.

For easy identification, simple sketches of the tools may be painted in the storage facilities. This is called shadow-painting.

Shadow-painting
a. eases and quickens the process of returning the tools in their proper places.
b. speeds up the checking of tools
