Electric shock fault investigation: questions and answers
Is an electrical inspection a substitute for medical help after a shock?
No. Medical help and electrical fault investigation address different needs. Seek appropriate medical assistance; do not use the suspect equipment while its safety is unresolved.
Is a small tingling sensation from equipment normal?
Treat it as a fault requiring assessment and stop using the affected equipment. An electrical inspection does not replace medical assessment following an electric shock.
What affects the quotation for electric shock fault investigation?
The extent of damage, safe access, isolation and replacement equipment determine the repair scope. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
