LOl I feel fine today so must have been minor.
Ill take more care next time but Im gonna make a complaint about people working at the back not draining the fridge properly and leavin the cord in water overnite.
yep hj's
wow, once upon a time i have hoped for a HJ that actually cares about OH&C more than getting out of the closing shift early
this just proved we're all one of the same kind, ;D ;D

Do you mean OH&S?
And yeh its pretty pathetic that some new trainees don't see the danger in leaving water in a fridge with the cord in there.
Lol and don't bag me for not realising because i leaned in to get the cord and the only way i could do so was to look away as i stretched to get it and there was no actual water on the cord from what I could tell cause its partially covered. Hard to explain.

Bloody closers dont know what their doing

It only takes about 20V through the heart and you're cactus


The lethality of an electric shock doesn't depend on the voltage of the source, but rather the current. Currents as little at 1MA directly across the heart can be fatal.

240V at 50A is enough to kill anyone through the heart :P

yeah.. it's actually the current which is the killer not the voltage. look at tasers, they got massive volts but only few die :P

lol my brother washed a cord once, with the plug and everything.

i've been electric shocked by random plugs hanging off my tv as well, but it wasn't so bad - it was just really tingly for a while. :)
