Practicing safety around high voltage (HV)
will protect you and those around you. Keep
in mind the following HV safety precautions:
•
Have ample light in the work area.
•
Do not work in wet or damp areas.
•
Use proper tools, equipment, and
protective devices.
•
Remove all jewelry and metallic items.
•
Keep your tools and equipment in good
condition.
•
Never assume that voltage is not
present; check it with a known good
meter or other test device.
•
Verify that any capacitors have been
discharged.
•
Never try to bypass or override a safety
device, such as a fuse, unless specified
to do so with an approved tool as
described by the manufacturer’s
procedures.
•
Always use the correct replacement
parts.
•
Never use water on an electrical fire;
have an approved fire extinguisher
available.
•
Use only one hand when possible.
•
Wear eye protection.
•
Never work on high voltage when you
are totally alone; someone else should
be present in case an emergency
arises.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s procedures.
•
Take your time, think first and do not
rush.
•
Know emergency policies and
procedures for your work area.
•
Wear natural fabric clothing such as
cotton; polyester clothing will melt to
the skin when exposed to electrical
arcs.
•
Use insulated tools and inspect them
regularly for damaged insulation.
•
Know where eyewash stations, fire
extinguishers, reach poles and other
safety equipment is located.
•
Never lay tools or any conductive
material on any HV component or
battery pack.
The longer someone is in contact with an
electrical current, the less chance there is
for survival. The victim may stop breathing
and become somewhat stiff. In the case of
electrical shock, the following procedures
should be followed:
•
Call 911 or the appropriate emergency
numbers for your area.
•
Break the electrical connection as
quickly as possible, but do not expose
yourself to any electrical current.
•
If the current cannot be removed, use a
fiberglass reach pole or a dry board to
separate the victim from the circuit. Do
not touch the victim with your bare
