Safety Musts: I’m Not Asking—I’m Telling You to Read This!

  • Do not touch your service panel with both hands—you could receive a shock, since your body would be creating a closet circuit if both hands touch the panel at the same time. So always keep one hand at your side.
  • Water and electricity don’t mix! Be aware of your surroundings and be sure you’re not standing in any water.
