Your safety depends on the combination of the right tools and your safe Work Practices

There is no tool that can guarantee your safety if you do not follow a safe work
procedure.
Here are a few tips to help you in your work:

• Work on de-energized circuits (dead circuits) whenever possible.
• Use proper specific practices and procedures of Lockout/Tag out to safeguard against unexpected energization or start-up of machinery or equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities.
• If the above procedures are not in place or not enforced, consider the circuit as energized or “live”.
• On live circuits, use the following protective gear:
  Wear insulated gloves.
  Wear safety glasses or better, a face shield.
  Use insulated tools.
  Remove watches, bracelets or other jewellery.
  Stand on an insulated mat or insulating footboard.
  Wear specific flame resistant clothing.
