Captain Cook Electrical
– A Pleasure To Deal With
There has been a slew of recent electrocutions in Australia, which serve as an unfortunate reminder that electrical safety needs to be taken seriously otherwise there are potentially fatal consequences.
A sad common denominator in these electrocution cases is that they have involved faulty wiring/negligent use of electricity in the home which are preventable problems.
There has been a double electrocution on a rural tablelands property where it is believed that a cable had been fixed from an electric fence to a semi trailer leading to two fatalities.

An 11 year old girl has received a near fatal electric shock from touching a garden tap at her home. This has sparked encouragement from the national peak electrical body to encourage people to keep an eye out for danger signs their wiring may be faulty.
