What precautions should you take when using mains electrical equipment?
As an electrician you definitely use precautions around electricity to avoid getting shocked or electrocuted. Here are some precautions I use:If at all possible make sure the power is turned off.When the circuit breaker is turned off put a 'lock' on the breaker box and warning note to keep others from turning the power back on.If you can't turn the power off, make sure you are not grounded. Use rubber covered tools. Rubber sole shoes.If you can't turn the power off, work on each electrical wire separately. Capping or tapping the wire you are not using while you work on the hot wire.If you have to pull a flat bladed fuse from a fuse box use a specially built 'fuse puller'.If you can't turn the power off, use a 'Electrical Tick Detector' to make sure there is no power in the wires.There is a 'Circuit Breaker' finder if you don't know which breaker to turn off. You plug the 3 pronged insert into the receptacle then use the electrical wand to locate the breaker.There is a device for checking GFCI receptacles to make sure they are working properly.shutting up
