Why Exposed Wiring Is Extremely Dangerous
Potential dangers include: electric shock, serious injury, fire risk
Exposed wiring presents an immediate risk of electric shock. Even brief contact with a live wire can cause serious injury or be fatal. Children and pets are particularly at risk as they may not recognise the danger.
Beyond the shock hazard, exposed wiring can also cause electrical fires. When wires are damaged or exposed, they can arc or overheat, potentially igniting nearby materials. This risk is especially high if the wiring has been damaged by water.
Never attempt to repair exposed wiring yourself or cover it with tape as a temporary fix. The only safe response is to isolate the power and call a qualified electrician.
