Discuss First electric shock in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Are you perhaps typing with the arm that got the belt ? Lots of gibberish going on there. From what I gather though you were working on exposed live conductors. No sympathy from me there you absolute idiot !
If it was your choice as a trainee to work live then you deserve the shock, and a slap. If it was the guy who was supervising you who told you to work live, then you both deserve a slap.
There are times when it is appropriate to work live when circumstances prevent isolation. This does not sound like one of them.
Put it this way I'm only half way through the ground floor..rest tomorrow..then first floor and I'll brr babing it holding my first connector block tomorrow
I was told holding the connector is safe...the store won't have power off
Am I supposed to refuse to work then when then main guy says hold the connector block....genuine question
No need to be "babbing it", that's what safe isolation is for, to give you confidence you are working on a de-energised circuit.
Take this shock as a learning experience. If you don't learn from it then you probably deserve another shock. Get your AVI on anything you disconnect. Even if a circuit is isolated, you never know what you are getting hold of, especially above a suspended ceiling.
Christ "DON'T WORK FREAKING LIVE MATE" bloody hell what's this trade coming to?
Yes ! unless you like putting your life on the line. Your Boss is breaking the EAWR and health and safety laws by asking you to work live when it is not necessary to do so.
