• follow electrical equipment manufacturer operating instructions.
• do not use electrical equipment to perform tasks that its not designed for.
• perform a visual inspection before using electrical equipment; and do not use electrical equipment with damaged prongs or power cord.

2. Routing an extension cord to hang in the air can be a tripping hazard, which is mentioned as an unsafe practice.
3. Repairing exposed wires with electrical tape is not a proper long - term solution and may still pose risks, and is not in line with proper electrical safety.
4. Cutting the ground terminal off a power cord is dangerous as it removes an important safety feature.

Answer:

All of the above options (Grabbing a coworker who's being electrocuted with you hands and pulling him or her to safety; Routing a extension cord so that the cord hangs in the air between two points; Repairing exposed wires on an extension cord with electrical tape; Cutting the ground terminal off the power cord to an electric drill so it fits into a two - prong extension cord) are unsafe.
