What happens here

Critically, never use Static Dissipative (SD) shoes when working on live, energized electrical panels. Because SD shoes are designed to conduct electricity, wearing them in such an environment would provide a direct path for dangerous electrical current through your body to the ground, posing a severe risk of electric shock, injury, or fatality. Always verify the type of shoe required for the specific task at hand.

Goal: Prevent electrical shock by never wearing SD shoes on live electrical panels.
