Here are 5....
1. / Thou shall FEAR the POWER of electricity and HONOR it.
2. / Thou shall not modify XP enclosures in any manner, unless their maker had instructed so.
3. / Thou shall TEST before touch, so that thou?s days may be long and years numerous.
4./ Thou shall not RE-torque thine terminals......
5./ Thou shall not allow water and dust to enter into thine places of electricity.

Navy version
Navy version
We had a different version of this when I was in the Navy, here it is for all you current and ex-squids.
The Ten Commandments of Electrical Safety
I. Beware of the lightning that lurketh in seemingly uncharged capacitors lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in an unseamanlike manner and cause thy hair to stand on end, therby exceeding regulation length.
II. Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities of juice to be opened and thusly tagged, that thy days may be long in this earthly vale.
III. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which thou worketh are grounded and thusly tagged, lest they lift thee to radio frequency potential and causeth thee to radiate with the angels.
IV. Tarry thou not amongst those fools that engage in intentional shocks, for they are not long of this world and are surely unbelievers.
V. Take care thou useth the proper method when thou taketh the measure of high voltage so thou dost not incinerate both thee and thy test equipment. For verily, though thou hast no NSN (National Stock Number) and can be easily surveyed, the test equipment has one, and as a consequence, bringeth much woe to thy supply officer.
VI. Take care thou tamperest not with interlocks and safety devices, for this incurreth the wrath of thy department head and bringeth the fury of thy Commanding Officer on thy head.
VII. Work thou not on energized equipment without proper procedures, for if thou dost so, thy shipmates will surely be buying beers for thy widow and consoling her in ways not generally acceptable to thee.
VIII. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, never service equipment alone, for electrical cooking is a slow process, and thou might sizzle in thine own fat upon a hot circuit for hours on end before thy maker sees fit to end thy misery and drag thee into his fold.
IX. Trifle thee not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug and thy wife be frustrated and have no further use for thee except thy wages .
X. Commit thou to memory all the words of the prophets which are written down in the 300th chapter of thy bible which is the 'Naval Ship's Technical Manual' and giveth out with the straight dope and counseleth thee when thou hast suffered a ream job by thy division LPO (Leading Petty Officer).
