I have stiil seen recently sparks from an niceic approved firm putting tape over breakers,it is jut not good enough.I wont trust anyone but myself and if i dont have my lock off kit to hand i will remove all live conductors from inside the enclosure.Never trust anyone is what they should put in bold letters on there handouts.

I got a tingle couple of years back,working on a lighting circuit,breaker off,didnt have lock off kit with me,someone walked in and i didnt see them switch it on.what the hell!!!I told myself off for that mishap,and it will never happen again of that i am sure.

Had a serious senior moment the other day which this has OP brought back (well flashback).
Basically many machines moving i checked phase rotation, isolated, pulled cables and breakers out of the board, then reconnected new machines with appropriate breakers, basically lots of different sized machines moving around the factory.
Anyway - managed to create a new type of combi cutter when i cut through two phases of a live cable on a C20 breaker, what a bang......
could not understand what went wrong, i had been so methodical and made no mistake about pulling cables and breakers out of the board.
It turned out one machine had been moved a couple of years ago, whoever did it just taped over the wires but was still powered up.
client offered me his pen tester which was a nice touch but bloody hell, i was 3m up on a scissor at the time and convinced myself it was a cable i had previously pulled out of the board.
Anyway - plonker of the week for me, not something i am likely to repeat anytime soon especially as its cost me my best cutters
