Chris, no I was being pendantic. Safe in the purest sense rather than relatively or comparitively safe which we all usually mean. Electrically the only safe premises would have no electric. In a workshop a grinding wheel is not safe, we could make it pretty safe by fully enclosing the wheel but not useable then it becomes less safe if we remove a small amount of the enclosure so we can actually use it. For electrics we tend to compare with current practices wheras yesteryear we never thought as things being dangerous that we might do now. It is all relative
