      Certainly! Here's a list of checks to avoid hazards in 'Main Board' and 'Lamps and Switches':

      Main Board:

      1. Visual Inspection: Check the main board for any signs of damage, corrosion, or overheating on the circuit breakers, fuses, wiring, and busbars.

      2. Tightness of Connections: Ensure all connections on the main board, including terminals, screws, and busbar connections, are tight and secure to prevent overheating and arcing.

      3. Proper Labeling: Verify that circuits, breakers, and switches on the main board are properly labeled for easy identification during maintenance or emergencies.

      4. Overcurrent Protection: Check that circuit breakers or fuses are appropriately sized and rated to provide overcurrent protection for the connected circuits and equipment.

      5. Grounding: Confirm that the main board is properly grounded to prevent electrical shocks and ensure safety. Check the integrity of grounding conductors and connections.

      6. Accessibility: Ensure that the main board is easily accessible and free from obstructions to facilitate maintenance, inspection, and emergency access.

      7. Ventilation: Verify that the main board is adequately ventilated to dissipate heat generated by electrical components and prevent overheating.

      8. Emergency Shutdown Procedures: Establish and communicate emergency shutdown procedures in case of electrical faults or emergencies to prevent further hazards and ensure the safety of personnel.

      Lamps and Switches:

      1. Visual Inspection: Inspect lamps and switches for any visible damage, cracks, or signs of wear and tear that may pose hazards.

      2. Secure Mounting: Ensure that lamps are securely mounted and supported to prevent them from falling or becoming dislodged accidentally.

      3. Proper Wiring: Check the wiring connections to lamps and switches to ensure they are properly installed, insulated, and free from exposed conductors to prevent electrical shocks and short circuits.

      4. Switch Operation: Test the operation of switches to ensure they turn lamps on and off smoothly without sticking or sparking. Replace faulty switches promptly to prevent hazards.

      5. Compatibility: Ensure that lamps and switches are compatible with each other in terms of voltage, wattage, and type (e.g., incandescent, fluorescent, LED) to prevent overheating, flickering, or premature failure.

      6. Location and Clearance: Install lamps and switches in suitable locations with adequate clearance to prevent contact with combustible materials, furniture, or curtains that may pose fire hazards.

      7. Proper Grounding: Verify that metal lamp fixtures and switch plates are properly grounded to prevent electric shocks and ensure safety.

      8. Emergency Lighting: Install emergency lighting fixtures or backup power sources to provide illumination in case of power outages or emergencies for safe egress and evacuation.

      Regular inspection, maintenance, and adherence to safety standards are essential to identify and address potential hazards in main boards, lamps, and switches, ensuring the safety of occupants and the integrity of electrical systems.
