    Insulation resistance test on length of SWA cable

    Initial testing stage, far from being energised at that point. As you say though, highlights why the tests are so important

    Insulation resistance test on length of SWA cable

    Ive seen similar on a new install on a treatment works. Turned out that a thin piece of masking type tape had been put across the top of the isolator (to avoid anything dropping in I suppose) which hadn't been removed when cable was installed. It tracked just enough to give a less than...

    Safety and part p questions

    Would this still be the case if something like the main earth bonding was missing? (Again, genuine question there, not a veiled attempt at an argument) Appreciate your advice Nick

    Safety and part p questions

    But what if they don't want the other issue, that you have informed them about, only the one they've asked you to do, but the other issue you find is dangerous? do you press on and fix what they asked you to, leaving the circuit with a dangerous fault, or do you decline to continue? Is our...

    Safety and part p questions

    I agree wholeheartedly with the need for the tests etc... and am a big advocate of not attaching myself to things that could come back and bit my rear end (or name me in court proceedings), part of the reason for me leaving my previous employment (my refusal to turn a blind eye to very dangerous...

    Safety and part p questions

    Thanks Pete, That was pretty much how I handled it, only without completing the full eicr at the point I got to.

    Safety and part p questions

    Thanks, that was my understanding of it. What would your approach be in the situations I described above, do you fix the problem and note the faults on the minor works, decline the work until an EICR is completed to reveal the whole truth or another option? Thanks Nick

    Safety and part p questions

    Thanks Pete. Just to clarify though do you mean an EICR in this specific circumstance or an EICR following minor repairs? Thanks Nick

    Safety and part p questions

    Thanks both. Those were my thoughts too. I think an EICR is in order to at least make sure everything is as it should be. There was no paperwork with the current occupiers (a tenant in a high street shop) but could've been with the landlord. I did suggest that they speak with their landlord...

    confused about coures

    Thanks for the advice guys It's not that the company is gonna say goodbye at the end of the apprenticeship, far from it, more of a job for life situation.

    confused about coures

    Thanks CTID, yes that does help thank you Do you need to be JIB registered to trade? Or is it the one that everyone looks for? It appears with my 17th and an assessment I could register with NICEIC as an installer, is this correct? And would this allow me to start working on installations...

    confused about coures

    Hi, The nvq is level 2 performing engineering operations and I'm not sure what the level 3 is, I've just been told its the level 3 that follows, in engineering. I'm assuming the 17th will be 2382-12, unless there are other 17th quals?
