Practical warning signs and preventive steps during wet weather.
What to review
- Treat tingling from appliances as an urgent warning.
- Keep electrical equipment away from damp walls and water entry.
- Have earthing continuity and leakage protection checked by a competent person.
- Do not bypass a protective device that trips repeatedly.
When to stop and call a professional
Stop using equipment or a circuit when there is heat damage, smoke, burning odour, sparking, repeated protective-device operation or electric shock sensation. Do not open energized equipment unless you are qualified and authorized to do so.
Emergency: If there is active fire, smoke, gas leakage or immediate danger, leave the area, warn others and contact the local emergency service. A website checklist is not an emergency response service.
