Um, woulden't have made more sence to fix the problem? If a GFI is tripping something is wrong.

as for your rules, I woulden't trust them, what if you arm brushes against a grounded reflector? the floor isn't the only ground you have to worry about. My rule for working on a AC pannel, is flip the big leaver to "off" first, then check with a meter to make sure it is off. Sorry i have seen people get blowen accross a room using the "one hand" and "on a rubber mat" method.

The only time it is "absolutly" safe to work on power is when it is off!
