When is wire size an electrical hazards?
Wire size becomes an electrical hazard when it is under rated for the amount of current (Amps or I) it has to carry.Current is the flow of electrons in a circuit. If the current is too large for the cable, the cable will be subject to heating, which is a possible fire hazard.

What are Electrical Hazard boots?
ELECTRICAL HAZARD - Boots with Electrical Hazard Protection meet ANSI Z41 PT99 standards to provide protection from open circuits. The soles of Electrical Hazard Safety Shoes provide a safety barrier to protect employees from open electrical currents up to 600 volts. Electrical Hazard shoes are often needed in maintenance, welding and engineering positions, where the chance of exposure to electrical currents is high.
