The Ten Commandments of Electrical Safety


 1. Beware of the Lightning that lurks in an undischarged capacitor
    lest it cause thee to be bounced upon thy backside in a most
    ungentlemanly manner.

 2. Cause thou the switch that supplies large quantities of juice to be
    opened and thusly tagged, so that thy days may be long on this 
    earthly vale of tears.

 3. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which
    thou worketh are grounded, lest they lift thee to high-frequency
    potential and cause thee to radiate also.

 4. Take care thou useth the proper method when thou taketh the measure
    of high-voltage circuits so that thou doth not incinerate both thee
    and the meter, for verily though thou hast no account number and can
    be easily replaced, the meter doth have one and as a consequence
    bringeth much woe upon the supply department.

 5. Tarry thee not amongst those who engage in intentional shocks, for
    they are surely non-believers and are not long for this world.

 6. Take care thou tampereth not with interlocks and safety devices,
    for this incureth the wrath of thy seniors and bringeth the fury of
    the safety officer down upon thy head and shoulders.

 7. Work thee not on energized equipment, for if thou doeth, thy mates
    will surely be buying beers without thee and thy space at the bar 
    will be filled by another.

 8. Verily, verily I say unto thee, never service high-voltage
    equipment alone, for electric cooking is a slothful process, and 
    thou might sizzle in thy own fat for hours on end before thy Maker 
    sees fit to end thy misery and drag thee into his fold.

 9. Trifle thee not with radioactive tubes and substances, lest thou
    commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug.

10. Commit thee to memory the works of the prophets, which are written
    in the instruction books, which giveth the straight info and which
    consoleth thee, and thou cannot make mistakes.
