Proper Safety Protocols

Before approaching or working on high-voltage electrical equipment, always:

• De-energize & Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) the equipment before approaching.
• Verify zero energy with a properly rated voltage tester.
• Maintain minimum approach distance and stay outside the arc-flash boundary.
• Wear appropriate PPE — arc-rated clothing, insulated gloves, face shield.
• Only qualified, authorized personnel may work on energized equipment.
• Use insulated tools and post warning barriers around the work area.
