Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

1 x 3A Smoke detector circuit (shows the age as it was a 3A 60898 which I haven't seen before)

It is uncommon to see anything below 6A in domesitc systems, but a few suppliers do ones below 6A but usually C/D curve.

What beggars belief is that someone thought it was a good idea to run those two sub mains from a 40A MCB in the first place!

It probably did not start that way! Sadly it was clearly not a designed process of what and how things would be used

Having two sub-mains back to the main DB at least would allow better visibility of total loads if nothing else can be done.

Not technically our trade, but telecoms. This was a contractor on behalf of Openreach working on my street this morning.
They had this opened up behind my driveway, with barriers around and warning signs.

In the last half hour, they’ve gone, and left this open.
I just phone Openreach, and they say it will be sorted within 4 hours

4 hours!!!

FGS man! Just put it back while muttering about the youth of today and how standards have slipped.

Ya moaning old bugger.

Nobody's perfect. Easy to forget the obvious sometimes. Or think someone else was doing it.

Hey... not my job. I might put my back out doing that.

I might put my own barrier around it... but why should I? If someone falls in... its on Openreach

Was thinking of "accidently" falling in myself, just for the compo

I'm thinking this isn't very neighbourly.

If some kid or elderly person breaks their leg (or worse) Openreach might pay compensation, but you'll kick yourself for letting this remain open for hours.

If you don't want to move the cover, maybe park your van over it?

Or fill it with concrete. Be very safe then

 

[littlespark]

But I like to have these minions running around at my beck and call…

Who should I phone next? Council out-of-hours or the police?

I don't like the whole 'not my job' mentality. It's not as though I get paid to make pointless comments on an internet forum, but you don't see me shirking that responsibility

I personally would just drag the cover back on. Five minutes and all safe.

And then you get all the "who touched it last?" problems...

I don't have the proper tools for lifting it... Im not trained to lift it....

I don't even have cones myself that i could put out as a barrier...

I suppose i could put the rabbit run over the top of it..... Without the rabbits

That U steel section could do some serious damage if someone went down. Get off yer butt and put it back
