Since I've now been asked several times if it's a real product I have to confess that the product in the video was actually made from a few different items all sourced from Poundland.

Well, let me just say that my company is a major international corporation, with its own fire department and EMS on-site, with safety guys who do inspections of the entire plant on a regular basis, so I'm reasonably sure their lawyers know what they're doing in this regard. If anyone's able to speak authoritatively to this, I'll bring it to the attention of our group's safety lead.

From that PDF:

Easy access to electrical panels is essential for the protection of employees in the workplace, and panels should never be blocked or inaccessible.
(Emphasis mine.) Having them behind a lock sure sounds like "blocked or inaccessible" to me.

Jesus christ. Dude "cooking" directly with his house wiring.

This kind of poo poo (well, not doing it directly with the wiring, but using electricity directly to heat water) isn't as unusual as you'd think, at least outside of countries that tend to have more modern amenities. Here's a gadget that boils water directly with electric current, and here's an electrically-heated shower head, for houses that don't have central water heating. (It's affectionately known as a "suicide shower.")
