What is necessary to prepare for electrical apparatus use?

To prepare for the use of electrical apparatus safely, ensuring all metal objects are removed is vital. Metal conducts electricity, which can pose a significant risk of electric shock or injury to both the practitioner and the client. By eliminating metal objects from the area, the likelihood of unintended electrical conduction is minimized, creating a safer environment for the application of electrical equipment.

While it is important to address other aspects of safety and client comfort, such as managing distractions, temperature adjustments, and informing clients about risks, these factors do not directly mitigate the immediate dangers associated with the presence of metal objects during electrical treatments.
