The Electrical Safety Foundation International has some great tips for both workplace and home electrical work.

Every year, people are injured or killed by circuits they thought were safely turned off.  Simply shutting off the power is not enough.  Hazardous conditions can still exist.  Working with electricity requires thorough planning and extreme care.
