SampleAHA Control Panel

This AHA document provides guidance for working in a control panel fed by an energized 120V circuit. It identifies hazards such as electric shock, falls, and human error associated with barricading work areas, opening electrical equipment, and working in low-voltage panels. It outlines actions to eliminate or minimize each hazard, including using PPE, barricades, insulated tools, and safe ladder practices.
