safety while working with wood?
A lightening rod has the function of attracting positively charged electrons by disbursing negatively charged ions into the atmosphere. It then directs the energy flow directly into the earth (ground) by creating a path of least resistance. If it were an insulator it would be useless.
A person has to be caught in the act of (or on video) pulling a fire alarm in order to be charged. However, pulling a fire alarm (or yelling fire or gun or bomb in a crowded place) in order to stop your attacker from attacking you is not a crime. It's common sense self-defense.
It is the law that your company supply you with all safety equipment needed for you to complete your job. You have all right to ask about the safety and any questions you have about your job. Just ask and they can put your fears to rest.
It might make a pretty decoration. Lightning could destroy it when the roof, also a non-conductor, is hit.
It would be a nice bird pirch. If it is NOT a conductor, how is lightning going to be attracted to it?
