More than people realize and it's not always down to the DIY builder.! . . . I've seen several machines sold by companies to home users with wiring that was dangerous and in one famous case which played out on this forum with the guy actually going to jail with machine potentially lethal had it been turned on.

I know of two cases of sheds being burnt down and one case with an attached garage where the house was badly damaged and the insurance refused to pay out because wasn't insured for machinery.!! . . . . . The simple rule is DONT MESS if don't fully understand what your doing and never cut corners because that £20 you saved on a RCD or fuses etc could easily turn into £20,000 or £200,000 if it burns the house down.!!
