4.2 Safety Information
WARNING!: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in massive
equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will result in
blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce dangerous
and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical shock may
result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines.
Careful planning of every job is essential. Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take
chances!

4.3 General Electrical Safety
• Perform the procedures in this manual in accordance with applicable workplace standards
established by the following agencies:
• Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• The National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA-70).
• National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
• Electronics Industries Association (EIA).
• Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA).
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, de-energize all circuits or
equipment before working on them.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 ft. between line potential and all unqualified persons
at all times.
• Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who
tend to be drawn to work activity.
• 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 body’s 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
equipment must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection.
• Select the right tool for the job. Use tools properly. Keep tools in good working order.
• 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.
