   Yes, I'm aware. I've often worked on live wires, switching out plugs or   
   switches or other fixtures or equipment.  It's very possible to do it safely,   
   but still not generally a good idea.    
      
   Electricity has become something a lot of people take for granted, and luckily   
   tend to call trained people to deal with. I was lucky when I was younger, and   
   was taught a lot by a Master Electrician when he was hired to help us set up   
   the equipment at a new company I worked for.  I was just an idiotic youngster   
   who never bothered to take the certification exams.
