HAZARD DETECTED!
A hazard line was crossed! This leads to fatal or severe electrical injury.
The worker should always remain aware of invisible line safety protocols.
SAFETY PROTOCOL SOLUTION
Proper safety steps to take BEFORE servicing high voltage equipment:
- De-energize the equipment and lockout/tagout (LOTO)
- Establish restricted approach boundaries
- Wear appropriate PPE (insulated gloves, face shield, etc.)
- Have a qualified observer present
- Follow company-specific safety procedures
Safety Reminder
Always assume electrical equipment is energized until proven otherwise. Follow OSHA and NFPA 70E standards for electrical safety.The Consequence: Ignoring protocols can lead to catastrophic energy release. A sudden arc causes severe injury, even death. Always prioritize safety. Your life depends on it.
