Last week we read in the paper that a plumber was tragically killed while repairing a domestic gas boiler. According to the article, the Health & Safety Executive spent many days on site investigating the incident and early indications were that the victim received a fatal electric shock while dismantling a filter unit next to the boiler. The plumber had isolated the electric supply and tested that the supply was isolated, he then isolated the heating flow & return valves to enable the filter unit to be removed.
