This one's for all you Navy Electricians, (Electricians in General), please enjoy.
The Ten Commandments of Electrical/Electron ic Safety
I. Beware of the lightning that lurketh in seemingly uncharged capacitors
lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in an unseamanlike manner and
cause thy hair to stand on end, therby exceeding regulation length.
II. Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities of juice to be
opened and thusly tagged, that thy days may be long in this earthly vale.
III. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which thou
worketh are grounded and thusly tagged, lest they lift thee to radio
frequency potential and causeth thee to radiate with the angels.
IV. Tarry thou not amongst those fools that engage in intentional shocks,
for they are not long of this world and are surely unbelievers.
V. Take care thou useth the proper method when thou taketh the measure of
high voltage so thou dost not incinerate both thee and thy test equipment.
For verily, though thou hast no NSN (National Stock Number) and can be
easily surveyed, the test equipment has one, and as a consequence, bringeth
much woe to thy supply officer.
VI. Take care thou tamperest not with interlocks and safety devices, for
this incurreth the wrath of thy department head and bringeth the fury of thy
Commanding Officer on thy head.
VII. Work thou not on energized equipment without proper procedures, for if
thou dost so, thy shipmates will surely be buying beers for thy widow and
consoling her in ways not generally acceptable to thee.
VIII. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, never service equipment alone, for
electrical cooking is a slow process, and thou might sizzle in thine own fat
upon a hot circuit for hours on end before thy maker sees fit to end thy
misery and drag thee into his fold.
IX. Trifle thee not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou commence
to glow in the dark like a lightning bug and thy wife be frustrated and have
no further use for thee except thy wages .
X. Commit thou to memory all the words of the prophets which are written
down in the 300th chapter of thy bible which is the 'Naval Ship's Technical
Manual' and giveth out with the straight dope and counseleth thee when thou
hast suffered a ream job by thy division LPO (Leading Petty Officer).
addendum 1 - Never shall thee taketh the word of thy comrade that the equipment is safe to work on. Trusteth only thine own eyes and thine own lockouts.
