Electrical Safety in the Workplace

Hey, there! I'm Edward and I'm here to tell you all about electrical safety in the workplace. I was inspired to start writing this blog by a local electrician who has recently finished working for me. I hired him to complete an electrical safety check in the office I own. I was so pleased with his work. He identified various faults which could pose a risk to my staff and my customers. Thankfully, he was able to carry out repairs to ensure that everyone who enters my office is kept safe. I hope you find what I've posted here useful.
