Electrical Tragedy

Construction sites are full of electrical hazards, and the services of an onsite electrician is necessary. But sometimes accidents still happen, as evidence from the inquest of the death of a carpenter in Queensland has shown.

Outside of the site’s demolition zone, a damaged light fitting was reportedly identified as being in contact with a metal water pipe, that was also in contact with metal scaffolding. The metal scaffolding is the surface which the carpenter touched.

The problem was, the area was beyond the demolition site, which meant that it wasn’t closely monitored.

Evidence of negligence has yet to be proven.

Hiring an Electricians May be Cheaper in the Long Run

For most people, the main consideration in making a DIY project of electrical work is cost. Everybody wants to save money, and many figure that they can do electrical work themselves, without paying costly electrician fees.

But hiring a professional may actually be cheaper in the long run.

Electrical work is dangerous work, and it's also very technical work. Many DIYers learn soon enough that they may have gotten in way over their head. Then they call in the professionals, if you’e one of those people go to this website and get the pros doing the grunt work.

Those who manage to finish their DIY electrical project learn that a bunch of stuff isn't working the way it’s supposed to, and then they call in the professionals. Electricians who come in late in the day usually have a lot to say about the novice electrical work they encounter, and how unsafe and dangerous it all is.
