2.2 understand and identify the hazards of electricity including frayed cables, long cables, damaged plugs, water around sockets, and pushing metal objects into sockets

In frayed cabling the insulation has worn down exposing live wires, electricity can be conducted from these.
Longer cables are at a higher risk of being damaged and there is more resistance with longer wires making them more at risk of over heating.
Damaged plugs create a risk that some of the safety features may be broken.
Water conducts electricity and can cause energy from the circuit to flow trough it creating a fire and electrocution risk. Metal objects in sockets have the same dangers.

  5. •It has been simply incredibly generous with you to provide openly what exactly many individuals would’ve marketed for an eBook to end up making some cash for their end, primarily given that you could have tried it in the event you wanted.
