Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety mechanism for holiday detectors. When a user properly holds a holiday detector, a safety button is engaged which allows the holiday detector to be turned on. If the safety button is not engaged, the holiday detector cannot be turned on. The holiday detector then remains on only as long as the safety button is engaged. In other embodiments of the invention, a lanyard connects a safety switch on the holiday detector to the user. If the user were to drop the holiday detector, the lanyard would flip the safety switch thus shutting off power to the holiday detector.

Abstract: A combination line marker and test station is shown which includes an upright support member, an internal locking sleeve and a test terminal which is supported by the locking sleeve within the upright member. A cap is engageable with the upper end of the support member for covering and protecting the exposed upper end and the internal locking sleeve and test terminal. A cupped-washer bolt is insertable within a common aperture provided within the cap and upright and is engageable with a locking nut carried by the internal locking sleeve to secure the cap to the upper end of the upright.
