About the Generators Meeting Sheet

This Generators Meeting Sheet is designed to ensure the safe operation of generators in various workplace settings and during emergencies. Generators, while essential for temporary power supply, pose risks such as electric shock, fires, and carbon monoxide poisoning if not used properly. This guide covers essential safety practices, including the appropriate placement of generators outdoors on stable, dry surfaces away from any openings that could lead exhaust fumes indoors and sheltering them from adverse weather to avoid electrical hazards. It emphasizes electrical safety through proper grounding, avoiding overloads by calculating connected device requirements and using suitable outdoor-rated, insulated extension cords. Additionally, the sheet highlights the dangers of carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless gas produced by generators—recommending operation in well-ventilated areas and the installation of carbon monoxide detectors to prevent potentially deadly accidents.
