Practicing safety, especially around electrical circuits and equipment, is everyone's responsibility. The problem is that we live in a hurry-up society and we tend to take chances when we hurry through things. When working with electricity, there sometimes isn't a second chance. Electricity kills and one false move could end it all for any of us. That's why it's so important to turn off circuits, check circuits with circuit testers to be sure they are off, and treat everything you work on like the circuit is live.

Safety should always be your number one concern when doing any electrical project and here are some safety tips to help keep you safe from electrical shock.
