Personnel/Environmental Factors / Warnings
Assign a Checker
o Arrange to have someone check on you periodically. This is especially true of high
voltage environments. An unconscious worker stands a better chance of survival if
resuscitation is given in the shortest time after an accident.
Do not attempt to measure unknown voltages or currents
o With modern cabling, it is easy to assume that a small size wire or cable is carrying a
voltage or current that is less than actual. Either assumption can have disastrous
effects for both operator and instrument.
Do not touch any exposed part of the test lead assembly
o Some types of test leads have close to exposed metal parts that could potentially
come into contact with the body, especially hands or lead pencils and other
conducting items.
