ALWAYS SHUT POWER OFF

DO NOT WORK ON ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT

The most life-threatening hazards in a home are:

• falling while working in high places
• Electrocution caused by coming in contact with live electrical circuits
• Being crushed by falling materials or objects
• Being struck by flying objects or moving equipment

While performing electrical repairs in your home, you will be exposed to many potentially dangerous conditions.

• No training manual, set of rules and regulations, or listing of hazards can make working conditions 100% safe. However, it IS possible for a home owner to work without serious injury, as long as you stay consistently alert and practice basic rules of safety.

You must be safety-conscious at all times. Safety should become a habit. Remember that your safety is up to you.

• Electrical work in the home should only performed under the direction of experienced personnel familiar with the various job site hazards that will be encountered, and means of avoiding them.
