How many of us actually lock off MCBs when working on electrical circuits?
I suspect some will lock off depending on the location but many will be happy to work on an isolated circuit by means of switching off the MCB only. Does everyone always prove dead?
Interested in hearing people's answers and any problems this has caused.
A old work collegue of mine once installed a flood light and decided to wire it up using a plug top. He fitted the plug top first then went outside to wire the light and blew his snips up when cutting the cable. The customer had plugged it in thinking it was for something else. He was working up a ladder when this happened.
He ran in the house and expressed his frustration to the customer for some strange reason
