It’s vitally important to take safety precautions when working with electricity. Safety must not be compromised and some ground rules need to be followed first. The basic guidelines regarding the safe handling of electricity documented below will help you while working with electricity. Avoid water at all times when working with electricity. Never touch or try repairing any electrical equipment or circuits with wet hands. It increases the conductivity of the electric current.

Never use equipment with frayed cords, damaged insulation, or broken plugs. If you are working on any receptacle at your home, then always turn off the mains. It is also a good idea to put up a sign on the service panel so that nobody turns the main switch ON by accident. Always use insulated tools while working.

Electrical Hazards include exposed energized parts and unguarded electrical equipment which may become energized unexpectedly. Such equipment always carries warning signs like “Shock Risk”. Always be observant of such signs and follow the safety rules. Always use appropriate insulated rubber gloves and goggles while working on any branch circuit or any other electrical circuit.
