    Yes it is serious,I was trying to see if anyone admitted to using leathers or nothing at all while installing secondary grounds,it takes a minute or two,so people use that excuse to take a short cut and not to wear their rubbers......but nobody is admitting yet.

    a neutral is a current carrying conductor, allways ruber gloves for the voltage of the circuit, PERIOD!!

    This ^ after testing for dead and tagging my leads. If using "self cleaning" grounding clamps the cleaning the conductor part can be omitted however it is still a good practice.
