Abstract: A circuit breaker safety clip and associated method are provided to identify and secure circuit breakers in an open position. The safety clip securely engages a circuit breaker in an electrical panel such that the circuit breaker must remain in an open position while the safety clip is attached thereto. The size and shape of the safety clip are selected such that the safety clip does not contact, and thus does not damage, other portions of the electrical panel. The safety clip design also provides ease of installation and removal. Additionally, the safety clip may include a warning tag that is durably attached and is appropriately sized to be noticeable without blocking the view of other circuit breakers. Still further, the wrap-around safety clip design of one embodiment protects at least part of the circuit breaker, typically the head of the circuit breaker, from direct impact.
