Environmental Analysis Before you open an equipment cabinet, look over your work environment. How do you plan to use your meter? Where will you mount it? Do you have clear access to the equipment in question? Have you been trained on or are you knowledgeable in the use of your meter? Are environmental hazards present, such as tight work spaces or a damp work area? Do you have enough light and ventilation? Also, make sure you have a helper knowledgeable in electrical safety or let someone else know where you're working. It's never good practice to work alone on high-energy circuits.Avoid working in dark areas. If you choose to work in a dark area, turn on the test tool's backlight to brighten the display for easier viewing. And, if you're working in a deep or recessed panel, use a test probe extender and probe light to illuminate the area to be probed. Be sure you can clearly view the point of measurement. The probe extender facilitates measurement by keeping your hands farther away from the inside of the panel, reducing potential danger.
