Ashutting down the necessary equipment
Busing the appropriate personal protective equipment
Cposting of safety warning signs
Dperforming a lockout/tagout procedure
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) performing a lockout/tagout procedure. Lockout/tagout is the primary means by which an electrical maintenance worker is protected from electrical hazards while performing work on an electrical circuit. This is because lockout/tagout ensures that the circuit is de-energized and cannot be accidentally re-energized during the maintenance work, eliminating the risk of electrical shock or injury. The other options, while important safety measures, do not provide the same level of protection as a full lockout/tagout procedure.
