I just took a two day safety class and my head is reeling with all of the safety requirements we are suppossed to be following. The main issue that I never really thought much about before, is that if I am ever working anything hot, I need to have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) on.

This means, if I need to take the panel cover off to check a voltage, I first need to determine the potential flash boundary, and then I need to don the proper attire, which most often will require hot gloves, fire resistant clothing, and hard hat (or hood) with face shield.

I've never seen this done. I want to know if anyone out there is doing this and what are your feelings about the matter.

Thanks
