In this episode, we look at how electrical equipment is designed to use the right amount of current for the voltage supply that it's designed for. After a brief recap on electric current, we look at what voltage is and how it is measured. we then look at the concept of resistance. At a simple level, some materials are conductors and some materials are insulators, but not all conductors conduct equally well. The amount of current that flows in a household appliance depends on the appliance's resistance Show Less

When it comes to fire safety in the workplace, we might be tempted to think that it's not our concern, or that there's plenty of other things to worry about—until it's too late. However, it's everyone's responsibility to prevent fires. That means we all have an important part to play in identifying and minimising the risks. Show Less

Safety is more than warning signs and handrails - it is an attitude of the mind. There are many traps for those whose attitude is amiss. Whether you're surviving the zombie apocalypse or just surviving daily grind of the office, the consequences of having the wrong attitude to safety can be deadly! In this video, you'll meet the Zombusters team and see how complacency, rushing, distractions, and unfamiliarity can get the better of us, and how to avoid these mind-traps. Show Less
