Product Overview

This risk assessment covers electronics repair activities, including inspection, isolation, testing, soldering, battery handling, cleaning and waste management. It supports planning and managing electrical, heat, chemical, manual task and emergency-response hazards.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Set up the work area and complete pre-start checks
Receive and inspect equipment before repair
Isolate, de-energise and prove equipment safe
Test and fault-find electronic equipment
Carry out soldering, desoldering and heat work
Handle and charge batteries
Use cleaning agents, adhesives and hazardous substances
Use tools, handle parts and manage bench ergonomics
Manage waste, housekeeping and emergency response

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out electronics repair activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Work area setup and pre-start assessment	Poor bench layout causing contact with energised parts or hot tools Trip hazards from leads, tools and parts Inadequate lighting causing incorrect testing or repair Unauthorised access to repair area
Receiving and inspecting equipment	Electric shock from damaged plugs, cords, chargers or exposed conductors Cuts from broken casings, sharp edges or shattered screens Unexpected stored energy in batteries or capacitors Manual handling strain when moving multiple items or heavier equipment
Isolation, de-energising and proving safe	Electric shock or arc from working on energised equipment Incorrect isolation or inadvertent re-energisation Stored electrical energy in capacitors or battery systems Assuming equipment is dead without testing
Testing and fault-finding	Contact with live parts during measurements Arc, short circuit or burns from probes, metal tools or incorrect instrument settings Use of unsuitable or poorly maintained test equipment Distraction or bystanders entering the test area
Soldering, desoldering and heat work	Burns from soldering irons, hot air tools and heated components Exposure to solder fumes, flux fumes and airborne contaminants Fire from hot tools contacting combustible materials Lead exposure from lead-based solder or contaminated surfaces
Battery handling and charging	Thermal runaway, fire or explosion from damaged lithium batteries Chemical exposure from leaking electrolyte Short circuit from conductive tools or poor storage Burns during charging or disassembly
Cleaning agents, adhesives and hazardous substances	Skin and eye irritation from solvents, cleaners and adhesives Inhalation of vapours from sprays or volatile products Fire risk from flammable liquids and aerosols Incorrect storage, decanting or disposal of chemicals
Tool use, parts handling and bench ergonomics	Cuts or punctures from hand tools, component leads and sharp casings Eye injury from flying fragments during cutting or prying Musculoskeletal strain from repetitive fine work, poor posture and static sitting Dropped tools or parts causing damage or injury
Waste handling, housekeeping and emergency response	Exposure to lead residues, sharp waste, broken screens and contaminated consumables Fire spread from accumulated packaging, dust or discarded batteries Environmental or health risks from incorrect disposal of e-waste and chemicals Delayed response to electric shock, burns, chemical splash or fire
