Turn the main switch off, it may save your life

Doing some home maintenance this weekend that involves going into your ceiling space or under the floor of your house?
Going under the floor to rescue the dog/cat, or get the spare tiles you keep under there? Store stuff in the ceiling space?
Before you do any of these jobs remember to:
Turn the main electrical switch off first!
Many older electrical installations still have cloth-covered wiring installed in metallic split conduits. These conduits can be disturbed and the wiring can deteriorate causing the metallic conduits to become live.
Unfortunately, there have been recent instances of fatalities when people in their roof spaces have come into contact with these live metallic conduits.
Even in homes with newer wiring we still come across unprotected terminations and poorly installed cabling.
By turning off your MAIN SWITCH you are reducing your exposure to unseen hazards in the crawl spaces around your home.
Don't delay wiring repairs
