Yeah a block of 19. we finished the mains off as the original contractor went bust so we picked up the pieces.

Lad seems keen. Pity his next week's wages are going to be minus the cost of a packet of labels....

Maybe he thought he had to use the whole roll of stickers!

Nice tidy job mate. Out of interest what cable have you used for the distribution circuits? Looks like stuffing glands on top of those switchfuses?

They are split concentric cable. Not my choice as were already installed but are on tray in the risers, not buried in walls elsewhere etc

Why did you want stickers put on any of that? All it does is make a neat job look a mess

I'd rather have everything labelled up than have it looking neat.

Sorry, the pictures aren't clear, they just looked like a lot of voltage warning labels to me!

Why did you choose yellow for information labels like that? Convention and guidelines on signs and labels would normally reserve yellow for warnings, information labels would usually be expected to be white (or any other colour than yellow, red or blue)

lol that was my point of the thread I told him what stickers to put on etc then he went a bit mental with voltage warning labels which I never told him to put on in the 1st place

That's only one apprentice!

I had 84 of them to keep an eye on.

They were in the machine shop, fitting shop, electrical shop, fabrication shop, paint shop, stores, production planning dept and drawing office. By the end of the day I was run ragged.
