in most uk installations a system of earthing called "earthed equipotential bonding and automatic discnnection of the supply" is used. All exposed metalwork is connected together and back to the supply authorities earthing. This with careful design can ensure that if there is a short circuit from the live cable to any metal the resistance path to earth is so small that a high current (fault current) flows in the circuit and the fuse or circuit breaker will disconnect. Thereby preventing possible exposed metal becomming live and potentially leathal. Failure to maintain a good earthing system can result in exposed metal parts becoming live under fault and no disconnection of the fuse or circuit - VERY DANGEROUS!!
