PPE, such as insulated gloves and safety glasses, is used to protect electricians from electrical shocks, burns, and other hazards.
Disconnecting power ensures that the electrical circuit is de-energized, preventing the risk of electrical shock or injury.
Lockout/tagout procedures involve placing locks and tags on switches and controls to prevent accidental re-energizing of equipment during maintenance.
GFCIs detect ground faults and quickly shut off power, preventing electrical shocks, especially in wet or damp environments where the risk is higher.
Regular inspections before each use ensure that tools and equipment are in good working condition and free from damage, reducing the risk of electrical accidents.
