Electrical Circuits Safety Procedures
Electrical power and light circuits are devices designed to connect or reverse
circuits under a power load condition
cable connectors, (not load-breakers) fuses, terminal plugs or cable splice
connectors may not be used, unless an emergency, to connect, disconnect or
reverse in place of proper electrical circuits
once a protective circuit is disconnected or opened, it may not be connected or
closed until it is determined safe to energize
over current protectors or circuits or connected circuits are never modified
only qualified employees may perform electrical circuit or equipment tests
all test equipment must be inspected before use - if damaged remove from service
test equipment must meet or exceed the voltage being tested & environment
electrical equipment is may not be used around flammable material unless the
proper measures have been taken to prevent the hazardous condition from
developing
