At Test4Less, safety is always at the heart of what we do – and when it comes to electrical work, there’s nothing more important than safe isolation.

We’ve teamed up with Andrew Spooner from Socket & See to create a new video on our YouTube channel, highlighting just how vital proper isolation is on every job. In this demonstration, Andrew shows the step-by-step process of safely isolating before working on a boiler, using the correct tools and techniques to make sure the job is carried out without risk.

Why Safe Isolation Matters

Working live can lead to electric shock, burns, injury, and even fatalities – not to mention the potential for costly mistakes and damage to customer property. By following safe isolation procedures, electricians not only protect themselves but also give their customers complete peace of mind.

Tools for the Job

Safe isolation requires more than just good practice – it needs the right equipment. Lockout kits, voltage indicators, and proving units are all essential to confirm that circuits are truly isolated before work begins. Socket & See and other leading brands provide reliable, easy-to-use solutions that help electricians stay compliant and safe on-site.

Refreshing Your Knowledge

Even experienced electricians benefit from refreshing their knowledge. Taking a few minutes to revisit the fundamentals of safe isolation can make all the difference in maintaining safe working habits. Videos like this one are a quick, accessible way to stay up to date.
