I heard that you can go on a day course in changing meter tails, but apparently this allows you to be able to legally replace seals. APPARENTLY!

now i dont know if this is true or not and would like it if you all may be able to help me with this query?[/b]

Wherever the course you need to be appointed in writing by the DNO's to do anything on their system, last I heard a course for county council staff to withdraw/replace the fuse in streetlights was a 1week course!

My son in one job was replacing meters and of course re-sealing but changed employer and now not allowed officially to replace seals. It is unlikely anyone not employed to do work for the DNO can officially replace a seal. That is not to say that people always follow the rules.

There is a 1 day fuse pulling course available from all DNO's but they only allow persons carrying out work under the MOCOPA umbrella on it.

MOCOPA is an agreement between the DNO's and the meter operators to allow suitably trained & qualified persons to withdraw the DNO fuse to carry out work on the meter (meter changing).
It does not allow the withdrawl of fuses to work on customer's equipment which would put the meter operators in breech of agreements

(on a operations course today so asked our operations engineers who deal with authorisations)
(the full MOCOPA course is two weeks)

Thats the legal bumf covered. Now, what do you all do for real?

Bearing in mind the legal aspects of working live if you dont have to?
