In regards of legality it's not the same, because the owner of the isolator or switchfuse gives you permission.
The owner of the cutout does not.
But the main issue is the safety one, and that's which, combined with the fact that it's not reasonable to do it, makes it a contravention of the EAWR.
And I dare say that if they had a mind to a DNO could argue that reinserting the fuse without their permision counts as a contravention of ESQCR 25...
Are you saying that it's only illegal to pull a fuse if you don't have the ability to do it safely, regardless of whether the owner of the fuse gives you permission?That's up to them.
But if you turn out to be mistaken in your ability to do it safely the HSE will be breathing down your neck.
Maybe they assume that, as a professional, you are fully aware of the laws which apply to your activities.
The competance is in the control of person carrying out the work IF you have doubts DONT DO IT ie if you have to come here and ask about it then IMHO Your not competant
