Hope you can settle this arguement. Boss came into work today with qty 4, 30m extension leads all on a standard plug. I told him they need PAT testing before use and as they are over 15m's for 1.5mm cable they need the plugs cutting off and replacing with rcd plugs. **** off he said, if they weren't ok then they wouldn't make them that length. Explained about ELI and rcd protection but he still won't budge on it. Says if they weren't safe to use at that length they wouldn't make them. Why do they make them that length if it is against the max length stated in the Code of Practise, can't think of a good enough one to convince him. Joe public can buy and use them but they are not good enough according to the C.o P.
Any reason to persuade him will be most helpful. Thanks in advance.
