High Voltage Safety Precautions
4. DO NOT TAMPER WITH INTERLOCKS-do not depend on interlocks for protection; always shut down equipment. Never remove, short circuit, or tamper with interlocks except to repair the switch.5. DO NOT GROUND YOURSELF-make sure you are not grounded when adjusting equipment or using measuring equipment. Use only one had when servicing energized equipment. Keep the other hand behind you.
6. Do not energize equipment if there is any evidence of water leakage; repair the leak and wipe up the water before energizing.
These rules, teamed with the idea that voltage shows no favoritism and that personal caution is your greatest safeguard, may prevent serious injury or even death.
