Attention brought to article that reduces shocking risks (8)
I believe the answer is:
earthing
'that reduces shocking risks' is the definition.
(process to reduce the risk of electric shock)
'attention brought to article' is the wordplay.
'attention' becomes 'ear' (have the ear of someone is to have their attention).
'brought to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'article' becomes 'thing' (I've seen this before).
'ear'+'thing'='EARTHING'
(Other definitions for earthing that I've seen before include "Electrician's work" , "Going to ground" .)
