I was working at a church hall just last week where simple plastic child proof socket protection was in operation 'you know the plastic plug in things to stop kids sticking things in sockets'.
To my horror in 2 of the sockets in the hall someone had broken the protectors whilst probably removing them leaving the plastic earth prong in situe, thus leaving the L & N terminals open and easily accessible with any slim metal object.
I obviously removed the foreign body from the earth inlet as an obvious duty of care, but for gods sake this was an area where small children were allowed to rome on a daily basis as it was a pre school club.
There were only 2 twin sockets in the hall so why does someone not report such things????????????
A 10 second job that removes a serious risk of electric shock.
