The Electrical Safety Council have a campaign running called "Plug into Safety" which gives vital information for the consumer on the importance of testing or haveing RCD installed onto your electrical circuits.

Here's a bit of information on the Campaign but you can also visit the link below for further information

Every year in the UK about 70 people die and 1.2 million are injured in electrical accidents at home. The good news is that many injuries and deaths could be prevented by having RCD protection – whether by using a plug-in adapter or, better still, getting it installed in your sockets or consumer unit (fusebox).

RCD protection will switch off the electricity in a fraction of a second if you get an electric shock.

Having a modern consumer unit fitted with RCD's gives you the best protection because they usually cover all the wiring, sockets and appliances in your home.

Check whether your consumer unit has RCDprotection by looking for the‘T’ button and label stating ‘testquarterly’.

If it has these, it’s likely you’re already protected.If you don’t have RCD protection, ask your electrician for a quote.

Like a smoke detector, it could save your life.
