caught this dodgy fix today! Someone tried using tinfoil to patch up a blown fuse – super risky stuff! The tinfoil has now been swapped out for a proper 13A fuse to keep things safe. Tinfoil can overheat and start a fire, but thankfully this was caught in time ! 🔧

🚫 Would you leave cardboard in your toaster while it’s on?
That’s basically what was happening here.

We found FOUR plugs like this in the same business — all still using the cardboard covers they came with. These little diagrams are supposed to be pulled off before you plug anything in.

Here’s why leaving them on is dangerous:
🔥 Cardboard can trap heat — and heat can start fires
⚡ It can stop the plug working properly
💧 If it gets damp or dusty, it could cause an electric shock

Most people don’t realise how risky it is — but this kind of thing is exactly what we look for during PAT testing.

👉 If you’re not sure what’s plugged in at your workplace, it might be time for a safety check. We’re here to help.
