To be RCD or not to be RCD

[Gravid]

I've installed like this before a few times in the past, they were just standard metal clad skt's. Is it not good practice ?

Are they standard socket outlets? the reason I ask is that if they are non standard ie pins turned 90 degrees etc only the lighting could be plugged in.

Standard sockets but its not a problem they are 25ft up in the perlings i like to see the cleaner try use them

Protection by 30mA RCD not required for socket outlets under the control of skilled or instructed persons.

Does this mean that I don't need an RCD in my house

I can say that I'm com.... compe.... compet..... competent person (got there in the end) and my other half, her son, and my mother in law are all people under instruction?


Can I be a cheapscape and just use main switch and MCB?


(I am taking the pee here and just debating)
