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:

Ok for wiring and keeping cables together under worktops/benches in rooms like kitchens or workrooms, where access is awkward. Or saddled inside cupboards, even.

That's the sort of thing - window dressing rather than offering any real protection.

Wrongly routed Oil Quantity Transmitter cable had been chafing before then protected but still routed wrong and had chafed again and shorted out to the oil tank

The DNO arranged for a temporary generator due to damaged supply cable.
At a minimum I'd have hoped for at least ONE means of cable restraint. (I don't count the door and tape!)

Meter man came to install a smart meter, Pity he wasn't as smart as the meter.

^^^^^ so not only has a neat installation Benn made rough, but was that RCD needed for fault protection? Looks like a TT system to me!

Oops just looked again and PME I take it from the second Henley/ service blocks.

You were right the first time it's TT, the meter man removed the Rcd being used for fault protection.

Wow, untidy and unsafe!

Is it common for meter fitters to remove components which fall outside the scope of their work?

Well he needed somewhere to stick the warning labels....two colours of cable, which ain't needed. Then, a warning not to store combustible materials close to the equipment... at high level, above a door seems weird.

And you can bet they went home thinking I did a good job today.

Had one yesterday where I had fitted new cu and isolator a few months ago.
Meter man came to put in a smart meter and replaced the new Wylex rec2 telling the customer that the regs have changed so needs replacing with an eon labeled one.
Needless to say he took the wylex one with him for I assume safe disposal on eBay

At least he left a new one, regardless of whether it was through idiocy or self gain.

Judging by the standard of work they could very well be gas pipes

This may have already done the rounds but perhaps a reminder to some of the ingenuity of your average sparks!, using a cardboard box as an enclosure! Lots of exposed basic insulation too!
