The final step to protect yourself and your equipment from wet conditions is to follow some best practices. Start by checking the weather forecast and planning your work accordingly. Avoid working with electrical equipment outdoors or in exposed areas during storms, heavy rain, or snow. Inspect your equipment before and after use for any signs of moisture, water, corrosion, cracks, or damage on the wires, plugs, sockets, switches, outlets, and cases. If you find any, do not use the equipment and report it to your supervisor or maintenance staff. Use waterproof or water-resistant equipment that is suitable for wet conditions. Look for labels or markings that indicate the degree of protection against water ingress such as IP (Ingress Protection) or NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) ratings. When working with electrical equipment in wet conditions, always use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) or residual current devices (RCDs). Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as rubber gloves, boots, aprons, goggles, and helmets that are designed to insulate you from electric current and protect you from burns, cuts, or impacts. Lastly, follow the manufacturer's instructions and the local regulations when working with electrical equipment in wet conditions. Read the manuals, labels, and warnings carefully and comply with the safety standards and codes of practice that apply to your industry and location.
