4.6.2 - Safe Use of Electricity
Electrical shock can occur if equipment is maintained improperly or operated unsafely. Care and common
sense minimizes danger and reduces the chance of fire resulting from electrical faults.
Figure 4.2 – Lockout Tagout Reminder
• Do not work on electrical parts unless you are sure they are disconnected
• Never splice, connect, or handle live circuits
• Verify test flow or possible leaks will not spray water into any electrical enclosures such as starters,
control boxes, or connection boxes during testing
• Verify all electrical equipment is properly grounded
4.6.3 - Reacting to Contact with Electricity
Figure 4.3 – High Voltage Warning Sign
• If a drill makes contact with electrical wires, it may or may not be insulated from the ground by the tires
of the carrier. Under either circumstance, the human body, if it simultaneously comes in contact with the
drill rig and the ground, will provide a conductor of the electricity to the ground. Death or serious injury
can be the result.
4.6.4 - Electrical Equipment
Get permission from the owner’s representative before utilizing electrical outlets on-site. Do not operate
electrical equipment in standing water or excessively wet conditions.
