Be on time, listen, ask questions if you do not understand. Yours and other people lives may depend on it. There is no room for complacency in the electrical trade. Cardinal rule #1 working with electricity is always assume that it is hot. If you are going to work on something that was or could be hot, test it yourself. Takig someones word for it can be the last their you will ever hear besides your own screaming. Always put safety first, then quality then quanitity.


I agree with sparkyinak. You should definately add a voltage tester to your list of things to get, and always checking for voltage before working on a circuit is a great habit to get right from the start.
