Question Question 9
Is it safe for the electrician to carry out electrical repairs outdoors during heavy downpours? Explain.
It is unsafe for an electrician to conduct electrical repairs outdoors during heavy downpours. Rainwater, containing dissolved salts, serves as a good conductor of electricity. If it comes into contact with electrical components or wiring, it can establish a path for the electric current, posing a risk of electric shock to the electrician.
