The Daily Life of an Electrician
I start my work at 7:30 a.m. I bring my essential tools, including:
- Pliers
- Screwdriver
- Voltage tester
- Wire cutters
My job involves installing electrical wiring, repairing faulty circuits, and reading blueprints to plan electrical systems. Sometimes, I also install outlets and lighting fixtures.
Safety Protocols in Electrical Work
Safety is very important in my work. I wear protective gear to ensure my safety:
- Safety gloves
- Goggles
- Hard hat
I always turn off the power before working on any electrical system. I also use insulated tools to prevent shocks.
End of Shift Routine
I finish work around 4:30 p.m. Before leaving, I clean my tools and put them back in my toolbox. I also check my schedule for the next day and make sure I have all the necessary materials. My job is challenging, but I enjoy solving electrical problems and helping people.
