Ground work and grounding equipment

Spanish translation: conectar tu trabajo a tierra / conectar el equipo a tierra

Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: Ground work and grounding equipment
The phrases came from a safety document:

"You must also ground your work as close as possible when welding."

And, in the next paragraph:

"When preparing for hot work, take precautions such as:

• Properly grounding equipment"

Is "ground" and "grounding" referring to the same? Proposed translations?
