I'm in the midst of building a new house and the electric codes in effect now virtually ensure that nobody can get fried, even by accident. Besides GFI cirduits wherever there is water or bare concrete, all regular circuits now must have arc-fault breakers. These are very touchy breakers that will pop even if a light bulb flickers. My electrician warned me that these can frustrate when you have to try to find out why it keeps tripping.

Electricity is not something to take "light"ly.(pun intended) Always err on the side of safety and ask a professional.
