Toolbox Talk: Temporary Lighting
Temporary lighting is light wiring which is removed upon completion of construction or when permanent fixtures have been installed. When using temporary lighting, keep in mind that electricity, no matter how low the voltage, is always a potential source of danger.
Points to Remember:
1. Lights must be on a designated circuit.
2. Baskets or lights must be supported—do not suspend by the cord.
3. Wire nuts and any open conductors need to be covered in electrical tape to prevent accidental contact.
4. Cage all lamps to protect the bulbs from breakage.
5. Replace all missing or broken bulbs or cages.
6. Do not use metal tie wires to suspend temporary light cords.
