Corresponding neutral

Supersparks - in one post you've mentioned so many bad and dangerous practices! If you are an apprentice, what level are you at for college so far?

Sounds dodgy!
I wouldn't ask an apprentice to find neutrals in a DB. Especially the way you have been taught, pull the wrong one and it's a big bank of fluorescents it's like the old rice crispy adverts snap crackle & pop! What if the one you pull is also doing the light in the mains room? Do you put it back in under load in the dark? Live terminals should only be accessible for the duration of the live testing. For everything else the circuit should be isolated

You seem to know safety more than him,i dont like the idea of toddlers wandering around near live parts,my child goes to a nursery and if i saw someone testing and doing what you have said,i think i might need to have a word.hse would have a field day with him

I'm an apprentice, working for a large large firm. I flutter between different people everyone have their own ways of doing things i've noticed its just upto me to decide which ways to do things when i go alone. Every one in our section knows what he's like but our supervisor have no guts about him and basically a yes man to his bosses. This electrician retires in 2/3 years and been with this contract for over 25 years, so it would be very harsh if they sack him.

I've asked him no end of questions about things he do in fact i do that with every one i work with to test my knowledge compared to theirs i learnt a lot by doing that and so have the guys I've been working with i think. And something i've noticed alot of his answers arn't strictly right. His response to a couple of things ive question him on was what you learnt at college was a waste of time you might as well forget that as im teaching you right. BIG headed or what?

I'll be taking notes from now on, infact i was thinking of doing that anyway for another matter he does towards me and every1 else he works with. Though i never really thought i may need it in a caught of law.

ive taken a few snaps allready sneakily while doing my portfolio

Job market isn't that great, and ive been on a rough end of a 5 week course wonder firm, therefore seeing i like the majority of this work and the money isn't too bad i'm sticking unless im not offered a job after my apprenticeship.
