Show answer key
- B — Set up your GPS before putting the vehicle in drive (never while moving).
- B — Truck to block/shield the area, cones, and hi-vis vest or bright colors.
- B — Verify the voltage is off with a meter; don't trust a label or switch alone.
- B — Lock out / tag out the breaker.
- B — Cap off the end that isn't clamped by the meter.
- B — Never check live voltage when fumes are present; make the area safe first.
- False — No earphones or loud music; you need to hear pumps, traffic, and people.
- False — The wire must be disconnected from motors/sensors; megging into them can damage equipment.
- True.
- True — Your safety comes before the job.
- Test the meter on a known live source → test the dead circuit (reads no voltage) → test the live source again to confirm the meter still works.
- Any three: confirm you're on the right wires; cap off the unclamped end; make sure it's not connected to motors/sensors; confirm it's fully isolated; make sure it's free of gas fumes.
- If conditions are unsafe or unclear: stop, make safe, and escalate — no guessing.
- Sight, sound, smell, and touch.
