Working live

[Andy-1960]

FYI, fitting an MCB into a DB is classed as working live, an electrician friend of mine got seriously hurt doing just this, all down to a faulty breaker which blew up in his face as he fitted it.
The HSE got involved and said there was no reason why the board should not have been switched off to carry out the work. His company got fined and he has the scars on his face and hands.
As with all accidents, its the unexpected that gets you..

Eeeek, sorry mate, I was trying to agree with you. Fat finger syndrome on an iPhone. Should now be changed!!!!!

How fat are your fingers @polo1? There's 2" between like and the other! It's certainly fiddly on an I phone, sometimes it takes 5 goes to get it right!
Is that how you spell 'goes'? You judge but careful to not press the dumb button! sausage fingers!

Lol! Have to say I'm still struggling with parts of the "new" site - must be getting to the age where adapting to change is getting more difficult.
PS why are my emojis not appearing in posts?????

Have that problem sometimes as well when using Android tablet. If you press space bar after typing, then pick an emoji it usually comes up.

I had one bad experience with a co-worker while working live on a job. Since then I've worked odd hours on jobs where they wanted me to work live just to avoid it when possible. I typically will only work live if I'm working alone and no one else can complicate the process.
