YouTube video (transcript) by Jarrad Goulding warning about dangerous, improper electrical wiring in workplaces. The speaker shows examples of untested or modified appliances (exposed wires, homemade splices), describes consequences including fires, insurance claims and severe injury or death, and urges leaving repairs to licensed professionals and performing regular test-and-tag inspections.
We've created a device that is ready to kill someone, basically, or seriously harm someone. All right, so we've got a good one here. So plugged in well, the tags are looking great, put on nicely. That's, I guess, how it's meant to look. Yep, great. That's how we'd like to see it. Fantastic. Okay, so that's the aftermath. That is what happens if you don't get test and tag done. You'll come back the next day, you'll get called in the middle of the night. You've been told there's been a fire at your workplace. And this is what we're dealing with. Completely melted down. You can see that they haven't been tested. Now we're out for an insurance claim. Now we're looking at, obviously, damage and that could be running up to hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage. That's what we're trying to avoid is exactly that. That's scary. It happens more often than you think. Hey, this is a good one. There's people out there that, for whatever reason, a little bit of knowledge is a scary thing. They've decided to wire up an appliance themselves. They've gone, I know what I could do. I just cut off extension cord or power board and just wire it up myself. You can see that the expo, they've made it up correctly, but we've got some exposed wires there, which is a massive problem. We've basically got a death trap and we've created a device that. Ready to kill someone, basically, or seriously harm someone. Leave it to the experts. If you're not licensed, do not try and fix it yourself, please.
