Electrical Safety When Using Test Equipment and Instruments

When electrical safety is discussed, the subjects of shock, arc flash, and arc blast are predominate in the discussions. In these discussions the question is often asked: How do I identify when these hazards are present, or likely to be present, when I am using electrical test instruments on electrical circuits and equipment?

This whitepaper discusses the electrical hazards, along with requirements for assessing the workplace to identify the electrical hazards and personal protective equipment (PPE) associated with using test instruments.
