Some of the Electricians are coming in for a caning, over here in New Zealand.
This is the result of Statistics released by the Energy Safety Service, that(summing up) more than half of the Electrical Accidents, were caused by personnel failing to perform basic testing after isolating equipment.
These accidents include Arc Flashes, Shocks and mechanical injuries from equipment restarting.
I don't want to make it sound like we are all careless over here, but this is not a good statistic and it does not say much for a bunch of people that are supposed to be trained professionals.
I've used isolation and testing procedures since the first day I started my Sparkies Apprenticeship and I don't intend stopping now.
