1.4.2. Test Station

Location
Select an area away from the mainstream of activity where employees do not walk
while performing their normal duties. If this is not practical because of production line
flow, then the area should be roped off and marked for HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING.
No employees other than test operators should be allowed inside.
If benches are placed back-to-back, be especially careful about the use of the bench
opposite the test station. Signs should be posted: "DANGER – HIGH VOLTAGE
TEST IN PROGRESS – UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP AWAY."
Work Area
When possible, use the instrument on a non-conducting table or workbench. If you
cannot avoid using a conductive surface, be certain that it is connected to a good
earth ground and the high voltage connection is
insulated from the grounded surface.
There should not be any metal in the work area
between the operator and the location where
products being tested will be positioned. Any other
metal in the work area should be connected to a
good ground, never left "floating".
Keep the area clean and uncluttered. All test
equipment and unnecessary test leads should be
