    I Need Work Finding first electrician job

    We are only small (under 15) We have two apprentices. One in first year, one in 3rd. Our 3rd year apprentice has been with us since he left school. He is moulded by us. He can run jobs and is a qualified site manager. The rest are 1 electrician to 1 mate, although we can mix & match according to...

    I Need Work Finding first electrician job

    True. Our apprentices were crap at school & all sorts of academia. We look past that. They come on for work experience then we send them on day release to college. Because we like to invest in our people, there is always ongoing training support from our own offices as we know that they have...

    I Need Work Finding first electrician job

    Difficult eh? Having taken on board what people have said & having come across it ourselves whilst training (I ended up working as a waiter for a bit) we try to do what is best for us and the individual. We have a couple of old fashioned apprentices who attend college (even though they learn a...

    Non contact voltage pen proving unit

    As all the ole boys (no insult intended) have mentioned, a non contact volt stick should never be used to confirm voltage nor for safe isolation/ dead test its merely an indication. Ive had it before where i can pick up EMFs from other sources with a volt stick giving me false indications...

    see anyone driving stupid!

    No more bloody cameras, driver training and awareness is what is needed, and yes more actual police on the roads, most police will let a slight motorway speed infringement go providing you're not driving aggressively, erratically or dangerously. What do you reckon to increasing the limits say...

    Fire alarm detector help....

    on closer inspection of the pic, they look like they've got a brand name on the bottom, can't make it out though ask for a pic from the bottom or hedge your bets and turn up with Apollo 65.

    Fire alarm detector help....

    They look like they could be a "menvier" but hard to tell from pics, is it a conventional system? Apollo 65 series are compatible with most systems you'd just need to get the base and detector and replace both.

    Fire Alarm MCP (Manual call Point) requirements

    I completely agree especially with malicious activation, hence why nightclubs etc have them in staff areas only. Plus the travel distances are according to my interpretation only for exit routes "inside" a building i.e landings, stairwells, and exits to free air. and the 100m is the distance...

    Fire Alarm MCP (Manual call Point) requirements

    No idea...good way of creating work for yourself though, even if he didn't get it. Its the same as all the sparks running round telling people they all needed CU upgrades after ammendment 3 was released, just omit the part about "new installs/ builds"
