I also take off my wedding ring - same reason.Axolotl wrote:
Also, take your wrist watch off before ging anywhere near wiring or the engine bay. I have seen a horrific burn on someone who shorted their watch strap across live and earth. Melted the strap into their wrist. Ouch!
It also comes off for most DIY and rock climbing (not tht Ive done any for ages).
Basically it's off with the ring(s), jewellery, watch. loose clothing (including your tie - even if it's just a peek inside the bonnet) and tie up the long hair.
anything that can get trapped will....
Safe working,
