SAFETY CHECKLIST

S

urvey the test station. Make sure it is safe & orderly.

A

lways keep unqualified/unauthorized personnel away from the test area.

F

amiliarize yourself with safety protocols in the event of a problem.

E

xercise caution and never touch products or connections during a test.

T

WARNING: THIS GUIDE WAS CREATED FOR OPERATORS HAVING SOME FAMILIARITY WITH ELECTRICAL SAFETY 
TESTING. AN ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTER PRODUCES VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS THAT CAN CAUSE HARMFUL 
OR FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK. TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DEATH, THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES MUST 
BE STRICTLY OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING AND USING A TEST INSTRUMENT. CONTACT US AT
