Have eyes in the back of head. For most work, the electrical
equipment must be de-energized because there is a high risk of
injury to workers if they work on energized equipment. It may be

limit the inconvenience.
Sometimes it is not practicable to completely disconnect low-
voltage equipment before working on it.

performed by workers who are qualified and authorized to do the
work. They must follow written safe work procedures.
