Maintaining Safety With Electricity
Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cords on an AC-powered
system. On a DC-powered system, disconnect the power at the circuit breakers. Follow these guidelines
whenworkingonequipmentpoweredbyelectricity:
Locate the emergency power-off switch for the area in which you are working. If an electrical accident
occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your work space.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit: always check the circuit.
Carefully look for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cords, or missing safety grounds.
If an electrical accident occurs:
Use caution. Do not let yourself become a victim.
Disconnect power from the system.
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim
then call for help.
