Electrical Hazards - Follow the Listed Precautions to Avoid Electric Shock
Electrical Safety
• Use dry gloves
• Wear rubber soled shoes
• Protect yourself from surfaces that conduct electricity
• Keep insulation on all equipment
• Components must be dry and in good condition
• Do not do wiring with bare hands, wet gloves or while standing
on wet or ungrounded surfaces
