    DNO Fine or Jail.

    Not really an answer, but the HSE were at the NIC tech talks in York and he did comment on pulling main fuses to 'work safely'. He did say that the HSE would not prosecute as it clearly states in the EAWR that all precautions must be taken to ensure safe isolation and working practices.... well...

    NIC Domestic Installer Assessment

    Did check this out and asked the question and had email confirmation we can apply for full approval on Domestic Installer assessment and not just defined approval for Electrical Trainee kitchen works!
