3.1.1 Electrical safety
■
Avoid physical contact with
earthed surfaces such as
on pipes, heaters, cookers
and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
■
Keep electric tools out of
the rain and away from
moisture. Water getting into
an electrical tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
