By that logic you could argue that it's a good idea to try connecting lightning conductors to different things to see what happens. You might electrocute someone, you might burn the house down, or you might end up back in 1985.!How! I wonder, did that guy Michael Faraday ever survive,how he was left to play with electrics is unbelievable,tut tut tut
What a plonker! and not even in a scheme

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Strange to get an apprentice to work, let alone work live.
TBH though it has got to be the biggest no, no. Must admit i have said things are live so be careful now and again (not that it was) but it makes them concentrate on the task and respect the stuff more, they found out after but then never knew if i was joking or not then on, so it worked. We have all done something live but having more knowledge on the risks involved to the task should be the thing thats most important and this includes work near live equipment. Much like a window cleaner carrying a metal ladder near live overhead cables.
Agree with tel we have all done a quick switch live but he knew the risks involved before hand, unlike an apprentice who would not know the dangers, would be a different story if it was a brass switch, I'm sure tel would have walked the two flights to turn off first.
We all know working live should not be done and its only corner cutting and not really worth the risk.
Because they'll be covered by other regulations.Also regarding EAWR, where i work DOES NOT by my reading come under those regulations?
That was the whole point of the exercise, to make someone test first.I work in one of the following; mines and quarries, certain offshore installations and certain ships. ahaha No, sorry I don`t feel like i want to disclose where I work
Would have never worked with me as I would have got me voltage tester out and checked That it wasn`t live I do hear "Thats live in there" alot when we are looking in panels ahah
Nah not mars. Ahaha
"This book is relevant to all work activities and premises except mines and quarries, certain offshore installations and certain ships."
Memorandum of guidance on the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
To get me to understand the dangers and told me we shouldn`t really be doing this,
Can you point me to these regulations please so I can have a look?
List of Health and Safety Legislation that applies to mines
If you press them keys Google can be your friend
But I`m an apprentice I know nothing! I need to be shown that its dangerous! Alsoyou can learn the dangers from college, in a book, on the HSE website!!! you don't need to put your life in danger to learn dangers...!!
do you drive your car at 90mph in a 30 ......... no!! why?? cause you know the dangers / consequences with out doing it....!!
