When performing any kind of installation that involves electricity, the biggest hazard is always electric shock. Although separating the equipment from any power sources and using non-conductive tools is important, there is still one last defense against shock: protective clothing. Also known as personal protective equipment (PPE), protective clothing includes the following:

*Long sleeve, flame-resistant shirt (synthetic materials can be flammable or melt into skin)
*Long, flame-resistant pants
*Safety goggles with side shields
*Leather gloves
*Hardhat with flame-resistant liner
*Hair fasteners (only applicable if you have long hair, as it may catch fire)
*Leather work boots
