SafetyQuestion 467 of 521
When working within the restricted approach boundary of exposed energized parts, hand tools should be:
a.Insulated/voltage-rated tools designed for the voltage being worked on
b.Any chrome-plated tools that look clean
c.Ordinary tools wrapped in a layer of electrical tape
d.Not a concern because gloves alone are enough
Explanation
Energized work within the restricted approach boundary requires insulated, voltage-rated hand tools to prevent a fault or shock if a tool contacts a live part. Chrome tools, tools wrapped in tape, or relying on gloves alone do not provide the tested insulation that rated tools offer.
