Electrical work’s Safety Steps

Before you do any electrical work on a circuit, make sure the power is off. Turn off the breaker (or pull/unscrew the correct fuse) to the circuit you'll be working on .Post a sign on the service panel so nobody tries to restore power while you're working on the circuits. Double-check the circuit with a circuit tester before you touch it to make sure the correct breaker has been tripped .Labeling or drawing a Before unhooking wires will take any guesswork out of how to reconnect them. Wear shoes with non-conductive soles, use tools with rubber grips and don't stand in water to avoid a potentially dangerous shock.Finally, never push yourself to finish a wiring job. That's when mistakes happen. If you run into a difficult stretch of work, take a break and think about what needs to be done. If you're still not sure, don't take chances -- contact a professional.
