The image labeled "Bad" demonstrates an example of improper grounding. In this image a construction worker wearing a hard hat is using an electric saw to cut lumber. The image shows the cord to his saw is not completely plugged in. As a result, as the worker uses his saw, the electricity flowing through the cord also flows through his body.

The image labeled "Good" demonstrates an example of proper grounding. In this image a construction worker wearing a hard hat is using an electric saw to cut lumber. The image shows the cord to his saw completely plugged in. As the worker uses his saw, the electric current is properly controlled, keeping him from being injured.
