My uncle Harold was a 40 year master electrician. He died in his own attic, cutting into a live lead.
I tend to be careful. First, understand what's going on if you can. Then check that the hots that you think are controlled by the breaker really are. Compared to a professional electrician I work slow. But I've done a lot of work and I'm still here.
Never seen inside a bus duct. (I've done next to no commercial work.) Was the problem that the busbar alloy was corroding?
