The DNO will attend to do it for you, so doing it yourself fails (a) and (b) in Regulation 14.
It is illegal.
Well I don't know about you but when I pull the main fuse I always take suitable precautions to prevent injury, such as assessing its condition before I even lay a finger on it, and in my view, it is unreasonable for the slightly exposed live termination on the incoming side to be dead as that would mean cutting the supply to the entire street.
Also, I never work with it exposed as I always take the fuse out and replace the carrier, so thats me conforming to 14(b) too as I'm not working on or near it when it's live.
My opinion = It's not illegal
