But, it is not only those workers who are actually using electricity that may be at risk.  Electrical installations which have been allowed to deteriorate into a dangerous state or faulty electrical appliances which have not being subject to pat testing can lead to shock or even fire.  However, most of these common accidents can be avoided by simple planning and taking precautionary advice from the Health and Safety Executive.
