When working in the vicinity of live electrical parts, such as exposed wires, switches, or contacts, electrical power in the vicinity should be turned-off using Lock-out/Tag-out procedures.

If that is not possible, the circuit must be opened and visibly grounded. Sierra-Pacific Groundwater Consultants, Inc. = w= '' " - 13 C
