1. Required Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE)
2. Inspect work area and equipment:
a. Cable stands
b. Soldering Iron
c. Grounding equipment
d. Visible Hazards

1. Personal Injury

3. Prepare cable for splicing.

1. a. Safety Shoes
b. Safety Glasses w/Side Shields
2. a. Check cable stands to ensure they
are safe.
b. Check electrical cords on soldering
iron for damage; repair/replace if
necessary.
c. Check grounding equipment to
ensure it is working properly.
d. Check area for visible hazards and
scrap cable/armor that is laying on
floor and place in proper disposal
container.
3. a. Always make sure cable is secured
properly in cable stands.
b. Make others in the work area aware
of dangers.
c. Always ground the cable before
splicing; cable can hold an electrical
charge for a long period of time.
d. Make sure the ground is sufficient;
grounding the cable against a work
table with rubber wheels does not
provide an electrical conductor to
ground.

Task Steps

2. a. Injury from cable falling from stands.

b. Electrical shock hazard
c. Injury from slipping/ falling.

a. Injury from cable falling.
