[TaffyDuck]

Aplogies if this thread has been done before.

When you go to a job what are your pet hates that you find a previous sparks has done? :banghead:

I know what you mean. I came round a corner on a narrow country road, a few weeks ago and literally ran into a load of them, right across the road.
The wife wont let me shout at them when there riding along the main road when there's a cycle path they could be using.

Not bending back the top and bottom lug's on single backboxes, drives me mad. Terrible practice not to and ungrommoted backboxes infuriate me.

Cooker points where the load is at the Top and supply at the bottom on a single point outlet...........

london!


ant my biggest one is other trades that don't understand the "first in best dressed rule" how many times have i done a lovely bit of tray to come back and find some pipes routed where it was!!

You’ve just reminded me Ranger. Instrument fitters, they wait until the tray work is finished. Before the first cable is run there’s pipes and bits of crap strewn everywhere.

One a do remember was my boss asking to borrow my big cable shears, I cleared off and left him quite happily chopping through air pipes, thermocouple and signal cables. He later borrowed a hammer and smashed all the JB’s they’d bolted in the middle of the tray.
A bit of a row developed after that. I was shop steward for both gangs, piggy in the middle!

Don't buy ones with neons :icon4:


I'm going to add larden plaster to the list, it's depressing to work with or be near

Idiots that link out emergency stop circuits with bits of wire because they are incompetent, which results in a near death experience for an operator!

 

[plugsandsparks]

Wow, whoever did it should be dismissed, if the switch is faulty then get it replaced as a matter of emergency or if it is linked out to enable production to continue there should be another operater standing next to another stop cct to ride shotgun
Outrageous !

Are you serious you condone linking out switches in safety circuits

 

[plugsandsparks]

Yes, read my second point about the second operator

On the bigger projects, you should have what's known as ''Combined Service Drawing's'' ...Woe betide anyone, that deviates from those drawings, without getting a change order!! lol!!!

 

[UNG]

Yes, read my second point about the second operator

I did read it the first time and if it all goes horribly wrong after the first shift change who is responsible. I would love to see the risk assessment on this but there probably isn't one but then again the production manager would back you up in court for doing it wouldn't he ??

I stand by my first comment second operator or not it's a slippery slope when you resort to linking out switches in safety circuits as the precedent is set for the future

 

[plugsandsparks]

Fair point, would hope it wouldn't take a shift change to get another terminal block though and good time to change it, its all down to how you assess it.
