A wearable electric field detector is configured to detect an electric field generated by a high-voltage electrical source in an environment, and includes a housing providing a cavity in which electrical components are provided, an indicator operatively coupled to the electrical components and configured to provide an alert to the wearer indicative of a strength of a detected electric field, and a spring-biased clip coupled to the housing by a pivotal connection. The clip includes a first arm section which overlays a top wall of the housing, and a second arm section which overlays a front wall of the housing. At least one pin is mounted within a bore in the housing, and a spring within the bore biases the pin outward from the housing and into contact with the second arm section of the clip.
