One of the stations in a electronics lab that I once worked at was the HI-POT
area for testing capacitors. Lethal voltages were involved.

A large plexiglas box with a hinged lid and leads inside was the test area.
The box lid had a safety switch that cut power to the leads inside, when the lid
was opened.

Foolproof, but not damnfoolproof. The manager showing me around, opened the lid,
reached in, and grabbed the now charged capacitor. He became quite agitated!

The container and interlock switch was what I was suggesting.
                                                                        Chuck
Moriarty killed a clone--Holmes lives!
