At least it was only "PA Testing" and not "PAT Testing" that would've sent him to an early(ish) grave.Oh dear, you've said PAT - Pete999 won't be happy

That's ok I put them in the plug bottom, or is it plug top bottom.I’m not a big fan of ferrules in plug tops
Just my opinion

You'd have been better off cutting their hands off, for their own good.I was once on a small domestic site where
A builder supplied the decorators with a 240v real lead of which the plug top had no top.
The painter plugged it straight in getting a wicked shock , then his mate tried to unplug it while it was still live getting himself a wicked bolt...
I kid you not , this is absolutely true
Soon as I saw what had happened I cut the plug top straight off
Not a bad effort, is this going to turn i to an "I can wire a plug me" thread?Ok -Oversized cable , bound and crushed.
(and may years worth of other bad habits)

Hopefully not "commonplace", although indeed you do see them from time to time.Yes, using a widowmaker for a genny is commonplace, but as an extension - not very.
Right or wrong, I think most of us would make safe, point it out to management, then carry out the necessary repairs... and the good relationship with the client. Taking the other route would be a quick way to lose your customer base.Did you RIDDOR them ?
