Description:On March 20, 1991, a 42-year-old male electronics technician was electrocuted while working on a microwave oven. Using a pair of small needle-nosed pliers, he received approximately 2,500 volts of electricity while repairing or trouble-shooting the unit. NJDOH FACE personnel concluded that the following safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Equipment must be de-energized prior to performing repairs
2. All equipment must be grounded
3. Workers must be educated about the dangers of working on appliances that carry high voltage electricity
4. Signs and symbols must be appropriately placed to warn about potential exposure to high voltage electricity
5. All workers should be trained in basic CPR.
