Bathroom Electrical Safety.

Zoomup
I have heard of people placing phone chargers on the edge of a bath, and even people years ago placing a heater on a wooden board situated across the bath, but this takes the biscuit.....


Does the appliance need bonding?

    The washing machine needs a decent bracket, falling onto someone in the bath would be very bad.

    Also to meet current UK wiring regs , in a bathroom that size the cable needs to be run out of the door to a socket in another room. As most folk do not like to bath or shower with the door open, this 'interlock' makes may make it quite safe...


    It will probably suffer from  rust in short order, but is not likely to be immediately dangerous if used carefully.  I'd prefer to see a vertical partition, so it cannot be showered by accident, especially if children use the bath, or anyone uses the shower attachment (though that kind do not really shower, so are really quite safe.).

    There are many broadly similar pictures on line.

    Many result from ill advised home improvements, without applying any common sense.

    Some are down to cheapskake landlords trying to add extra facilities.


    Some rather related "fails" on large new construction projects are due to over reliance on CAD without any common sense test being applied at either the design stage or during the actual building.

    Examples include street lights placed at exactly 50 meter intervals, even if some of them block acces to garages or drives.

    Or a multi storey building with stairs linking each floor to the next, stairs upwards from top floor meet the ceiling.

    Or the layout of WC pans not coninciding with the partition layout, so that some WC pans are half in one cubicle and half in the next.

    Lighting layout planned, and not replanned when the floor layout is altered. Fluorescent light half in one room and half in the next.

    Some of you may laugh at these pictures, but to me, they demonstrate real poverty. ?
