A few days ago "give or take a week" there was a report of people being killed by lighting while living in a tent on a construction site. This got me thinking as I know that shipping containers are used for the same purpose and I thought it would be a good idea to ask.

How safe is a shipping container? As we all know it is used on most building sites as storage and temp offices and even people sometimes use them to house workers. Now if you do plan to use a shipping container for let’s say an office what electrical requirements are there and also how do you keep yourself and your staff safe from lighting storms?
