PAT Testing figure 8 mains lead

I was the manager so the buck stopped with me and yes I want a PA as then it could be controlled better but they would not allow me to fit one.

Fill the mains inlet on the radio with glue, and buy the workers a set of rechargeable batteries, and a charger which lives in the office.
 
You'd take a radio off the shop floor because there might be a puddle on the floor and the power cable might fall out and it might go in the puddle and someone might put their hand in the puddle whilst the fallen-out power lead is in there?

Not the most likely scenario really :roll: (and it would do next to nothing to said person anyway)

Does this apply to any electrical appliance with a removable power lead (be it the figure 8 type, standard IEC 'kettle lead' or anything else?)

Personally, I feel that this over-zealous application of rules is what causes people to become so cynical of H&S in general.
