			The use of Lockout-Tagout or (LOTO) is the safety measure widely used when someone is working on an electrical circuit and uses a way to physically disable the circuit from being accidentally energized, thus keeping the person from being electrocuted.

	Non-Contact Voltage Detectors can be used to detect the presence of voltage at outlets, lighting fixtures, circuit breakers, wires and cables or can be even used to find a break in a wire. Most can detect the presence of voltages with the range of 50 to 1000 volts ac and a frequency ranging 50 to 500 hertz. some of the higher end units can detect the presence of dc voltages. this item can be found at most hard ware stores for as little nine bucks! Very cheap when you compare the cost of the life savings.
