Well that would certainly be possible at some of the places I've worked :D

Unless of course he takes the plug off and keeps it in his pocket!

sorry I disagree. There's simply no way NOT using a lockout would ever be accepted whether or not the person in charge of the job could argue that he kept control of the plug at all times.

Absolutely

Right, yes I see that now. Agreed.

Unplugging a machine alone is also not a suitable method of isolation unless a plug lockout is used with the key to the lock being under the control of the owner of the job in hand.

a socket on/off switch would not be considered a suitable method for emergency switching and as such doing this temporary mod would not matter. What is a concern is that the post implies that the socket front was removed in order to fit a circuit breaker inside and then closed back up meaning...

Hahaha ! But in reality it's not quite as bad as that! Worth a read about it though for sure.

Wiring of that age can sometimes suffer from leeching of plasticiser which looks like green jelly. Those wires pictured look like they've got away with it so far! You can google "twin and earth green goo" to read all about the issues you can sometimes get.

The pipework from the new service valve on the road is blue HDPE up until the base of the "hockey stick" within the "insuduct" and it the changes from plastic to copper (about 2 feet below ground level) - reason for this decision unknown. The copper then proceeds up through the insuduct hockey...

Sorry my mistake in typing my OP - Reading between CPC and CH pipes 0.01 ohms.

Morning everyone, I'd like to get some second opinions if possible please. As some of you will know, I'm a qualified electrician/electrical engineer but am not registered with a scheme as I'm employed in industry. From time to time I do notifiable work and non notifiable (and indeed do notify...

There are much cheaper items readily available which do the same job apart from connecting to a phone (normal programmers, timers, thermostats etc)

Same here since I've been pestered no less than twice today by BG regards getting Hive installed even though I've repeataedly told them I don't want the god forsaken useless things
