Safety tips

[Adityaa]

I have describe some useful point here Never use electrical equipment or tools near a pool or other wet areas.
Look up. Be aware of overhead power lines. Always look up for the location of power lines when carrying or setting up a ladder or using a long-handled pool-cleaning tool.Treat all electric lines with caution and respect. Even low-voltage electric lines and cords can be hazardous if damaged or improperly handled.

Extra low voltage can be hazardous too

two of the best ones I have kept with me for the last 24 years in the distribution game,

"IF IN DOUBT ASK!"

"Familiarity breeds contempt" ie treat every job with respect!!

Are you trying to say that this is not a good idea then?

Crikey, we were lucky to get away with that then.........

Don't eat yellow snow.

Look again at TTC's picture. Note all the plugs and sockets are Schuko! Is any further comment required?

Thank you very much for your safety tips.

Agreed, though I would classify that as a "top tip" rather than a "safety tip." With relevance to the tiltle, I would prefer to read about "safety tips."

OK, so read the WIKI. there's lots in there.

Also BS7671 (the Wiring Regulatios) has a safety tip on every page!

Lots HERE
and HERE

In theory the inside of the pool is an equi-potential zone. If the sockets sink then the dangerous voltage gradients through the water will be confined to the immediate area around the sockets. So people in the pool are safe provided they do not touch anything or any person outside the pool and are not close to the sunken sockets.

So the safety tip is , Never trust theories.

You don't think that eating yellow snow is unsafe?

In the context of electrical safety, it appears a digression has been made.

And congrats, you've superceded 35000 posts. And can we say you might also be the biggect thanker here?
