Electrical Safety Tips

The most important thing about electricity when working on it is safety. I can't tell you how many times buddies of mine have been out in the field being careless and really hurt themselves. Make sure that you're very, very safe. First thing is turning off the power and then making sure whatever devise you're working on doesn't have any power to it, it's not live. You always have to double check because you never know from when you leave the breaker back to the devise you're working on somebody else could of walked by, seen it and switched on. Or you might of turned the wrong breaker off, whatever there are a million possibilities and it seems foolish to be redundant but when you're working with electricity it's very important to be redundant.
