Always make tests with one hand in your pocket! Ken

Don't eat IC chips that are a few years old. They contain lead. Recent chips are lead free but they don't taste as good.

Only one person in the whole history of the U.S. Navy got electrocuted on a voltage as low as 47v. 1 mA current through your body is detectible, 10 mA is painful, 20 mA you can't let go, >100 mA could be fatal. Current through your chest is worse than current through your fingers. Cardiac defibrillators put out up to 7 watt-seconds [joules] of energy, and they are dangerous. For extra credit, look up "arc flash" and "skin resistance". >600 v punctures the skin and, for me, it left a little hole that took a while to close up! If you get a shock and you believe you hear a woman singing something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nLKX...eature=related it probably means you will die soon.

Your questions is a pretty general non-specific one so I will give a general answer. "Electronics men" safety would be following rules and practices that would prevent injury to self or others due to unsafe acts or practices. Oh yea, it's also not a good idea to solder while wearing shorts. Lefty

Use an isolation transformer, especially when using an oscilloscope.

Don't set the circuit board for a CCFL bulb on a pair of jeans you're wearing and then plug it in. Those sharp points seperate the jean threads nicely and provide adequate conduction to make your leg itch from a minor 1st degree burn for hours.
