Should have taken a pic, but didn't. At a local football ground today:
Catering (burger) van, complete with tea urn, microwave, chip fryer, griddle, and above sink hot water tap. No gas in sight, 32A connector on the outside.
Cable ran from the roof of the van to a pole at about 2.3m height, about 3m away but sagged causing people to duck under it (H&S #1), ran down the pole and onwards toward a shed another 3m away, but with a 32A connector / extension on the floor (no warning / matting - H&S #2).
Just inside the shed, the nice shiny 32A cable was terminated to..... a 13A plug! (H&S #3 - is that even legal?)
But wait!
Said 13A plug was plugged into a 20m drum, which in turn was plugged into an outlet... 2m away. Where was the other 18m of cable? Still on the drum (naturally - H&S #4). And the owner seemed annoyed that he had to keep resetting the drum's thermal cut-out!(H&S #5)
Where do you start?
