SAFETY, CARE, AND HANDLING
Voltage step potentials created by lightning strikes may make the soil near the MK-2551A/U more hazardous than the soil
surrounding a single ground rod, since the MK-2551A/U does not penetrate deeply into the earth. This phenomena would
be of very short duration, similar to the strike itself. Regardless of which grounding system is used, the soil in the
immediate vicinity of the ground will be potentially dangerous during a lightning discharge. For this reason, personnel
should make every effort to seek shelter within metal enclosures, vehicles, or other relatively safe locations when electrical
storms are imminent. This same precaution applies even if a grounding system is not installed, since personnel may also
become a possible target for a direct strike
