In that situation the firm they're working for will turn off 240v and will have their own specialist 110v supply with FUCKING HUGE waterproof 3 pin plugs. Leaving you with 2 choices; batteries or 110v a big reason why people who work on both CSCS and domestic sites will go for batteries - they don't have to buy 2 sets of tools. Also if you have batteries only, then you only need to get your chargers PAT tested every 6 months not every fucking tool you own or if you're that way inclined it saves you a packet on moody PAT test labels from Amazon
The thinking being that the 110v supply is less dangerous however labourers will still do what labourers do and find a way to hurt themselves.

I bet if they worked for a big company with a H&S department and pages of risk assessments they would bring their own RCD to site.
