plugs, fuses, wires & house fires :-)
Lots of posts in this sub-forum with metalworkers giving electrical advice. Can I suggest this sub-forum instead:

This may be of interest.
Leading causes of hospital presentations, admissions and deaths from DIY injuries in Victoria in 1999.
BTW motor vehicles death (especially cars) refers to DIY working on/in/under/around vehicles but not driving on roads.
NB position of Ladders in all 3 columns.
I suspect "electric shock" is waaaay under represented because most folks have no idea they should go to hospital if they get one.

Hi Guys,
I once got knocked out by a 25Kv arc to my arm from a projection TV some years ago ! I came round in the ambulance and was told to sit and relax till I felt better. No one bothered to treat the little burn hole in my arm ! That took ages to heal.Best Regards:
Baron J.
