"I would strongly recommend installing an 30mA RCD (inside the consumer unit) to provide additional protection to all electrical circuits to reduce the risk of electric shock in the event of a fault.
As an alternative, but not as effective consider installing socket outlets with integral 30 mA RCD devices, this is especially important for equipment being used outdoors."

"Never leave unattended any electrical power tool. Keep power tools in safe like box and unplug always.
If you work on scaffolding and need any power tool don't pull tool wire, you have to go to the ground floor and get the power tool.
When you work keep clear area with tools.
Don't keep near water or any liquid.
.......etc."
