[QUOTE="Revved Up Sparky, post: 280083, member: 5050"] Any decent electrician who understands how electricity works will automatically assess the risk of electric shock when installing tray. I think any decision on whether to earth cable tray should take into account what sort of cables the tray is carrying, for example, if the tray is just carrying data or telephone cables and is not near any other metalwork then you might consider omitting an earth, however, I think any electrician who does'nt bother earthing a cable tray that is carrying 240V unarmoured cables is foolish and living on borrowed time. It could only take one nick in the insulation to make the whole tray live and kill yourself or someone else. [/QUOTE]
