I think he was a gonner mate. Seen that video before few years ago I think

Ouch!...that's going to smart in the morning; that is if there was another morning in his life! In those situations EVERYTHING that I take to the job is 1000V insulated EVERYTHING. But in this case my Rubber gloves, leather over-gloves and Arc Flash Protection hood/visor would merely have provided a simpler means of identification for my relatives.

We think we are working safely; they thought they were working safely...seriously this should all make us take stock again!

What was he doing? it looked like he was winding some sort of handle

 

[pewter]

He was using a Neon screwdriver

 

[kelvfoozinda]

Looked like he was winding a switch to charge it to turn on. Likely to be 11kv if UK.

Sure he was fine he had a hard hat and ear defenders on

Seeing this reminds me of why i told my son to become a plumber. As he says its easier just to get wet

He had been reading recent posts on here and thought he had better install a 3A fused spur to the fan he installed last week
