| 5 | Slides 21 and 22: scenario exercise in small groups, then the debrief |

What you need
- Slides on a screen, or printed copies for each person
- Sign-in sheet
- 10-question quiz and answer key, one quiz per person

- A good extension cord and a damaged one tagged out of service
- A GFCI receptacle or portable GFCI to show the test button
- A lock, tag and breaker lockout device like the ones used on site

Tips from the guide
- Ask about this job: where the temporary power is, which panels you use and where the lines run.
- Pass the good and damaged cords around and let the crew find the defects themselves.
- When someone shares a close call, thank them and ask what would have prevented it. Do not blame.
