• AmericanNationalStandardsInstitute(ANSI).Wheneverpossible,de‐energizeall

circuitsorequipmentbeforeworkingonthem.

• Maintainaminimumclearanceof10feet(3meters)betweenlinepotentialandall

unqualifiedpersonsatalltimes.

• Keepunauthorizedpeopleoutoftheworkarea.Beespeciallycautiousofchildren,

• DeterminingifacircuitisOFFcanbedifficultinsomeinstances.Checkforcircuitvoltage

withanappropriatevoltmeterbeforeworkingonequipmentpresumedtohavebeen

de‐energized.Tiebreakers,doublethrowdisconnectswitches,automatictransfer

switchesandemergencygeneratorscan

supplypowerthroughanalternatecircuitor

fromanothersource.

• 120Vcurrentcanbejustalethalashighervoltagesbecausecurrentflowthroughabody

dependsuponthebodyʹsresistance.

• Donottrustinsulationand/orweatherproofingonawireasprotectionfromshock.

• Useelectricallyinsulatedtools.

Inspectportableelectricalequipmentortoolsfordefects

andremoveanydefectivedevicesfromserviceimmediately.Allportableelectrical

• Makesuretheworkareais

freeofanyflammablematerial.Flammablevaporscanbe

ignitedbyanarcflash.

• Keeptheworkareacleananddry.Clutteredworkareascauseaccidentsandinjuries.

• Providegoodlightingintheworkarea.Youcannotworksafelyifyoucannot seewhat
