Beware The Lightning That Lurketh In The Undischarged Capacitor, Lest It
Cause Thee To Bounce Upon Thy Buttocks In A Most Un-Technician Like Manner.
Cause Thou The Switch That Supplieth Large Quanitities Of Juice To Be Opened
And Thusly Tagged, That Thy Days In This Earthly Vale Of Tears May Be Long.
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 Make Like A Radiator, Too.
Tarry Not Amongst Those Fools That Engageth In Intentional Shocks For They
Are Surely Non-Believers And Are Not Long For This World.
Take Care That Thou Useth The Proper Method When Thou Takest The Measure Of
A High-Voltage Circuit Lest Thou Incinerate Both Thyself And Thy Meter, For
Verily, Though Thee Has No Account Number And Can Easily Be Surveyed,
The Test Meter Doth Have One And, As A Consequencce, Bringeth Much Woe Unto The
Supply Department.
Take Care Thou Tampereth Not With Safety Devices And Interlocks, For This
Incurreth The Wrath Of The Supervisor And Bringeth The Fury Of The Safety
Inspector Upon Thy Head And Shoulders.
Work Not On Energized Equipment, For If Thou Dost, Will Thy Fellow Workers
Surely Buy Beers For Thy Widow And Console Her In Other Ways.
Service Not Equipment Alone, For Electrical Cooking Is A Slothful Process
And Thou Might Sizzle In Thine Own Fat For Hours Upon A Hot Circuit Before Thy
Maker Sees Fit To End Thy Misery.
Trifle Thou Not With Radioactive Tubes And Substances Lest Thou Commence To
Glow In The Dark Like A Lightning Bug And Thy Wife Have No Further Use For Thee
Except Thy Wages.
Thou Shalt Not Make Unauthorized Modifications To Equipment, But Causeth
Thou To Be Recorded All Field Changes And Authorized Modifications Made By
Thee, Lest Thy Successor Tear His Hear And Go Slowly Mad In His Attempt To
Decide What Manner Of Creature Hath Made A Nest In The Wiring Of Such
Equipment.
