Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for preventing a person from coming into dangerously close proximity with an earth-embedded temporary electrical grounding rod so as to lessen the likelihood of electrical shock in the event of a fault current. The overall protective device of the invention includes an earth-embedded, temporary, electrical grounding rod, a mounting collar threadably secured to the upper end of the grounding rod, and a plurality of insulative, elongated struts removably secured to the collar and extending outwardly and obliquely therefrom. A perimeter-defining rope element extends about the grounding rod in a laterally spaced, elevated position relative thereto, and is supported by the oblique struts.
