1 Place men working sign boards on all switches before commencing work Do not close any switches unless you are familiar with the circuit which controls and know the reason for its being kept open
2 Ensure that all the controlling switches are opened and locked or the fuse withdrawn before working on any circuit or apparatus. Don't touch or tamper with any electrical gear or conductor. Unless you have made sure it is Dead and Earthed. High voltage apparatus may give leakage shock or flash over even without touching
