  4. Work in De-Energized Conditions:
    • Whenever possible, work on electrical systems when they are de-energized to minimize the risk of electric shock.
  5. Isolate the Area:
    • If working on live circuits is necessary, isolate the area to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety of yourself and others.
  6. Use Insulated Tools:
    • Insulated long nose pliers are specifically designed for electrical work. Always use tools with proper insulation to prevent electrical conductivity through the tool.
  7. Avoid Water and Moisture:
    • Keep the work area dry, and avoid contact with water when working with insulated tools to prevent electrical conductivity through moisture.
  8. Maintain a Safe Distance:
    • Maintain a safe distance from energized parts and components.
    • Be cautious of other conductive materials in the vicinity.
  9. Secure Proper Training:
    • Ensure that you have received proper training on the use of insulated tools and are familiar with electrical safety procedures.
  10. Store Tools Properly:
    • Store insulated long nose pliers and other tools in a dry, secure location to prevent damage to the insulation and maintain their effectiveness.
  11. Replace Damaged Tools:
    • If any damage or wear is observed on the insulated long nose pliers, replace them immediately to ensure your safety during future use.
