SAFETY CHECKLIST
Survey the test station. Make sure it is safe & orderly.
Always keep unqualied/unauthorized personnel away from the test area.
Familiarize yourself with safety protocols in the event of a problem.
Exercise caution and never touch products or connections during a test.
Train operators. Never touch clips directly and always connect the return lead rst.
You should always know when a test is being performed.
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
INFO@ARISAFETY.COM FOR MORE INFO ON HOW TO GET TRAINED ON ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTING.
