    Those who are not fully qualified about electrical jobs should not venture into unwanted risks. In my personal life in Kuwait, I was saved from being electrocuted due to my wrong move. That was first and last. Even if required change the bulb first I ensure that switch off.

    Most don't slippers or chappals when handling electrical gadgets especially inside houses . This is very risky and i order all colleagues and my kids, to wear safety shoes or sandals wherever they handle electrical devices - big or small.
