Discuss Question regarding ring final circuit in the Electrical Course Trainees Only area at ElectriciansForums.net

Thing is with questions like this is how much detail do they want? Would it be ok to answer as Lee has above with the added qualification that the Regs relay to the E&W Regs 1989? Is this likely to be a multi choice exam or a good old fashion exam where they like to test your overal understanding and reasoning?
 
Must admit that these days exams seem to be focussed more on technique than understanding. Now, when I were a lad we had proper questions where you had to write with your pen rather than tick a box. Examiners had to read what you had written rather than just stick the paper into a scanner!
 
The answer you can give is:
The health and safety at work Act 1974 and the Electricity at work regulations 1989.

I could suppose that the Act is an act not a regulation and therefore they may be wanting, say, The management of health and safety at work regulations 1999.

The question states "give two health and safety regulations" therefore to answer you give two health and safety regulations.
The reference to a socket on a ring final is just to show you are working with electrical equipment. Ah... you could also give The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994.
It is a poorly worded question but typical of the prevarication provided by city and guilds.
 
It's not that mate I couldn't get to grips in my head even though the answer was right in front of me, thanks for the help though
