Welcome Kirchoff ,

You will do well to become familiar with the difference between 'earthing' and 'bonding', since the latter will serve your question better.

Earthing is known in many places as 'grounding'.

Here is a very informative link to read after you look up the difference between 'ground' and 'bond.
