Title: Grounding Animation
Content: Two images.

The image on the left demonstrates an example of improper grounding. In this image a constructor worker wearing a hard hat is using an electric saw to cut lumber. The image shows the cord to his saw is not completely plugged in. As a result, as the worker uses his saw, the electricity flowing through the cord also flows through his body.

The image on the right demonstrates an example of proper grounding. In this image a construction worker wearing a hard hat is using an electric saw to cut lumber. The image shows the cord to his saw completely plugged in. As the worker uses his saw, the electric current is properly controlled, keeping him from being injured.
