“Electrical Safety Basics”
Electricity is something that cannot be seen and, yet, it is the most useful power controlled by man. Although useful, it can be very destructive power to both man and material if the proper precautions are not taken.
The danger is always there, and we must know what means of protection can be used to eliminate the hazards. Even the seasoned electricians need to remember basic rules of electrical safety.
Here are a few to keep in mind:
Jobsite electrical installation
The following rules apply to electrical installations, both temporary and permanent, used on the jobsite.
Portable power tools
In construction, portable power tools with defective wiring cause many injuries. The following safe practices recommended.
Electrical outlets
Three-pronged outlets: Always guard three-pronged plugs. They are your shock lifeguard. Never cut off the third prong to fit an older two-hole outlet. Never use a two-wire extension cord with a three-pronged plug.
If you use an adapter at a two-hole outlet, be sure the pigtail is attached to the faceplate screw. (You must test the screw for known ground source.”)
