Electrical hazards are a condition every homeowner should be aware of. If you're looking for an electrically-safe housing frame, NASH can help you out. The National Association of Steel-Framed Housing promotes the use of steel frames as they are safer than alternative materials.

To ensure the safety of your property, steel house frames need to be permanently earthed according to local electricity authority requirements. Just like any other house, steel-framed housing should have safety switches. These can either be an ELCB Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Leaking currents can be a problem as they can cause fire risks and faults. To prevent damage to insulation, rubber electrical grommets are used in the pre-punched service holes found in steel framing. In the case of lightning strikes, these have less effect on steel since energy is usually conducted straight to the ground and will not be released destructively within the steel frame.
