Electrical hazards on site

Electricity gives no warning. Treat every wire as live until it's proven dead.

Key points

• Use GFCI protection on all temporary power.
• Keep tools, ladders and material away from exposed wiring.
• Report damaged cords, panels and boxes right away.
• Never work on live circuits unless you are qualified and it is planned.
• Keep water away from electrical equipment.

Ask the crew

• Where is temporary power on this site, and is it protected?
• Who do we call if we find damaged wiring?
