STEPS TASK DESCRIPTION POTENTIAL HAZARDS CONTROL MEASURES

Step 1 Collect testing  Electric Shock from  Ensure testing

equipment and malfunctioning equipment equipment is in good
necessary tools condition.
 Tripping Hazards  Keep the work area
organized and free of
obstacles.

Step 2 Identify electrical  Electric Shock from  Use insulated gloves

equipment that needs accidentally touching live
testing and tagging equipment.
 Exposure to hazardous
substances (e.g., asbestos in
older equipment)
and PPE.
 Handle equipment with
care, especially older
units with potential
hazards.

Step 3 Ensure equipment is  Electric Shock  Isolate the equipment
