    They won’t. Both are in the danger zone for high voltage. Well, depending on how high that voltage is.

    Mightn’t be too high since they aren’t wearing a high voltage suit.

      The cartoon is from a series for the Navy.

      The two guys are in blue overalls and belts that were the typical uniform, back in the day.

      They were typically focused on safety or the myriad of silly situations a sailor may face on deployment.

      LOTO is a standard practice, but like all electricians, sometimes steps get skipped out of urgency (never an excuse), complacency, or stupidity.

      They are just swapping out a piece of gear, so it is 120 or 240.
