But that wasn't what you said - you were talking about getting it wrong:It doesn't work like that. You can be competent, not screw up, but still take the blame if something goes wrong.
and that was what I replied to.The reality is that you can make a risk assessment, there is no official way to have someone in authority pass comment on it, and the only way to know if you got it right or cocked up is when stood in court if something happens and you're charged with getting it wrong.
If it turns out that there is no basis for that advice, or, more importantly, critical marks in an assessment, then as I observed with the sockets situation, the answer is not to just say "you wouldn't believe the drivel these people spout", the answer is to go after them for compensation, to report them to any professional body they use, and drive the incompetent thieving b*****ds into the ground.Knowing what the manager of the building we rent space in at work gets told, some of these consultants come up with complete drivel - just like a recent thread here recently about 3 double sockets on a 3P supply ? Seriously, you would not believe some of the drivel - the manager is afraid to wedge an OUTSIDE door open when he's due a visit for fear of a black mark for leaving a fire door open ! WTF !
That would seem to be untrue, therefore charging someone for telling them that is wrong. Why is it that we are quite comfortable with taking action against people who do something physical wrong because they are incompetent and ignorant, but when they write a report which is likewise wrong, which therefore is not worth what was charged for it, and which can lead to expenses, losses, inconvenience etc for the recipient, we just shrug our shoulders?And then she used to have some nice foliage above the main door - there's a sort of small mezzanine floor in the corner above the revolving door. She had to take it all down, because she was told it's illegal because it needs ladders to access. She wasn't told that precautions and safe working practices were needed and given that option, just told that "it's illegal" ("Elf n Safety" strikes again).
He needs to be driven into the ground, and that's all there is to it.
