B.
Do not operate electrical equipment when working in wet conditions
C.
Hold fingers on the switch while carrying a plugged-in tool
D.
None of the answers are correct
E.
Use GFCI only when using double insulated power tools

Answer 1

B. Do not operate electrical equipment when working in wet conditions

Step-by-step explanation:

Wet locations can be found indoors and also outdoors. They may include areas that are subject to water somehow, unprotected from weather, and/or subject to water. Working on wet conditions might even be fatal. If the circuit is not interrupted in time, it can cause serious injuries or even death.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Do not operate electrical equipment when working in wet conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrocution hazards are conditions or situations including workplace that expose a person to possible electrocution, which is a high amount of electrical energy that can lethal or have considerable negative effects on one's health including burns and shocks. Considering using electrical equipment everyday represents multiple electrocution hazards it is important to follow certain steps to avoid a possible electrocution this includes using a GFCI which is a device that can protect you in case of electric shocks all the time or as much as possible; avoid overloading outlets ; make sure the electrical equipment works properly; follow the right steps when doing procedures that involve electricity or electrical equipment and avoid working in wet conditions as water works as a conductor for electricity which means if there is electricity near to a wet zone being in contact with that zone will cause the worker to electrocute. Thus, from the options given the one that is a safe work practice to avoid electrocution hazards is B. do not operate electrical equipment when working in wet conditions.
