Electricity can be dangerous, however,  simple precautions when working with or near electricity and electrical equipment can reduce the risk of injury to you or others. This video summarises the hazards and precautions to take when working with electricity.

Ensuring Electrical Safety in the Workplace
The damage caused by electricity can vary in level of injury depending on the individual circumstances. For instance, a voltage as low as 50 volts applied between two parts of the human body will cause a current to flow which can block the electrical signals between the brain and the muscles. This may lead to several effects such as muscle spasm, stopping the heart, preventing the person from breathing. The risk of injury is typically greater with higher voltages. Electricity can kill or critically injure people and cause damage to property. Therefore, electrical safety should be a major priority in all project planning and ongoing electrical maintenance.
The HSE website gives further guidance on electrical safety in addition to the article https://www.hse.gov.uk/toolbox/electrical.htm
