Reply to comment by TexasTornadoTime in Lightbulb not working by BSPirat

While I agree people can be taught to work on their home in a safe manner without calling a professional, it’s dangerous to say that getting shocked is essentially not dangerous (at worst they get a very minor shock). You don’t have to have a heart condition for this to seriously hurt or kill you. Of course, most people that get shocked don’t get seriously injured, otherwise I’d have a lot more electrical injuries in the ER, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat residential electrical as something that can kill you.

Okay sure but my point still stands this sub is diy not call a professional. More effort needs to be placed on that and how to work safely rather than just say pawn off the job.
