Hi guys I was wondering if someone could help me, I’ve got to wire a extra switch in from a grid switch which has an emergency side and normal, I know I’ve got to take 3 browns over 2 being strippers and an earth, I was just wondering if someone could tell me the connections.

Thanks

In that case it's a one way switch, and would need replacing by the 2 way equivalent.
Once that's done, the wires that are currently in COM(mon) move to L2, and you connect your 2nd switch in parallel - COM to COM, L1 to L1, and L2 to L2.

"It works" and "it's safe" are not necessarily the same thing. With DIY work, they are often far from the same thing.
