No bottom of the ladder meaning apprentice and he's a qs...and thanks I knew I can come talk to u whenever I have any concerns
Ps every circuit was made dead since it happened
Thanks for the advice Jay...the circuit down stairs killed the whole right side of the counter so was dark when killed..upstairs I can kill it and it doesn't really make that one section too dark
Another --- tanning...I'm big enough and ugly enough to take it ;)
I said if I had my way I'd of killed the circuit...but being bottom of the ladder....when someone above me says don't touch any conductor..only the plastic connector and it's ok to put them in the choc box...u know I believe...
I'm not saying which was cracking..just that I could hear it coming from the connector block..hence I started tightening the screws..one of the neutrals was seriously loose..was turning turning and some more until tight and then that's when I got a belt just when I took my vde driver off the screw
No was two different jobs...the earth was wrapped back up the grey pvc...so put sheathing on it and a connector block...the live and neutral were in a black enclosure
Where I got a belt was on each pir...from it to the led was a connector block....live..natural and one with red tape...so...
100% correct shanky ...putting choc boxes over connector blocks but I could hear crackling buzzing so was tightening the screws..finger and thumb either side of the plastic block when I got a belt
I've spoke to 2 more sparks since this and both said it's safe to put a connector block in a choc...
Fair enough Glenn and tomorrow it won't be happening again....I can't think everything I'm being taught is wrong...can I?
Get the beers in..I'm on the vodka redbull after today ha..only a few...work tomorrow and all :)
Every spark I've met so far said it's happened to them..some numerous times..I wasn't expecting the response I got..thought I'd get maybe...it could of been that..or this etc..I know all about safe isolation and if it's my job I'd have the lights off..it's not my job so..... anyway..I appreciate...
Got 2 sets of vde hand tools and I'll hold my hand up..I had vde long noise pliers in my pocket when it happened...but I was told touching the plastic Is safe..like a plonker I believed it..like I said I'd been working since 8am and must of put 15 connectors in blocks using my hands only...
Don't have the BGB.. first year so was Told I don't need it yet. And again I listened to someone because if I don't how do I learn...I've got to believe what a time served spark says..why would I not...they should know best...if all else fails I come on here and get my --- handed to me haha jk :)
Don't know what it was between but yes the rcd kicked in and I was up ladders...I'll refuse it tomorrow if I have too
I'd rather miss out on the rest of the job than be Brown bread
Thank you very much trev..I don't want to lose this job or opportunity and I do believe stuff he says...why would I question him when I have so much less experience
I only wanted help and advice..not a roasting......I got that earlier
You are making it like I went into work today and thought fuk it I'll work live
That site didn't want the lights out
Boss said if taking conductors out .kill it
But just putting a connector block in a choc block is fine
My years experience .over his 12 or so...I usually listen to him
