Discuss Hairdryer in Bathroom in the Electrical Appliances Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Calm down @DPG, you’re not writing a mills and boon novel!
I just don't like switches in bathrooms at all. Either normal light switches or switched sockets. Call me old fashioned but somebody dripping wet operating a switch in a steamy bathroom doesn't sit well to me.
 
What do you mean by technically as its physically outside the zone?

Sorry sir he hasn't breathed for the last two hours, oh so technically he's dead?!!

Well, technically you're right ...that's why I shortened the appliance lead from discouraging the misses from ----ing hairdrier into the bath while a played with my angle grinder.......

Thanks for this link. The last paragraph says: "Never bring mains-powered portable appliances such as hairdryers, heaters or radios into a bathroom. You could be severely injured or killed." I'll fit the socket and pass the link onto the customer, so she knows there is a risk. The rewire includes an RCD protected consumer unit. So, even if she ignores the advice, she won't kill herself, my conscience will be clear and most importantly I'll be complying with the regulations!
