Complete the Super Rod Safe Isolation Survey for your chance to win a prize worth over £500

EAL has been engaging with contractors and learners at trade shows to discuss electrical safety, and we are proud to support an initiative for Building Services Engineering (BSE) professionals to promote electrical safe isolation.

Super Rod is conducting a survey inspired by Michael Adamson's story. Michael Adamson, an experienced electrician, tragically died at 26 due to electrocution in 2005 from safety failings, including inadequate isolation procedures that could have been prevented. For more information, please read Michael’s story.

The survey, open to all BSE professionals and apprentices until 31 August 2024, aims to assess improvements in workplace safety. Participants of the survey are submitted for a chance to win a Klein Tools Tradesman Pro Tool Bag kit and a Super Rod Mega Set worth over £500.
