# Soldering Irons can get up to 1000 °F. This is really hot, so do not touch it. Any metal thing on the iron is hot. Be sure to hold the iron like a pencil, and ONLY hold it by the handle.
# Always wear safety glasses when you are cutting wires or anything else at the electronics workstation. If other people are nearby, ask them to wear safety glasses or step away briefly.
# Angle your wire cuts down into the table or cover them with your free hand to block the projectile.
# When not in use, turn off the soldering iron. There's no need to have it blistering hot when it is not being used.
# Soldering irons can get up to 1000 °F. Do not touch the tip of the soldering iron; it is extremely hot. If you get burned, run cold water over the burned area for several minutes to reduce inflammation and the potential for blistering.
# Wear safety glasses when using wire cutters or snipping any components.
# Wires and components can also become extremely hot from soldering. Use the available helping hands, and allow the wires/components to cool before touching.
# Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use. Never lay it directly on the workbench.
# Ensure you have adequate ventilation when soldering. Use the available fume extractors.
# Turn off the soldering iron when it is not in use.
# If you start an electrical fire, use a fire extinguisher to put it out. NEVER use water to put out an electrical fire.
# Keep liquids away from the electronics workstation.
