As part of recent renovations, my employer's landlord has fitted out a room as combined shower and disabled lavatory. The shower is fitted with an isolator switch, but it's in an electrical supply cupboard outside the shower room and a few metres away.
Now the fire safety people have come and said that cupboard must be kept locked.
To me, siting the shower's isolator switch in the same locked cupboard as the distribution board that supplies it seems absurd as it defeats the whole point of the exercise. But can anyone point at a rule that is being broken?
