test results question

[Pete999]

Time to find another job I think, the QS sounds like a complete prat. You will probably never see eye to eye with some who clearly shows complete incompetence.

He sounds like a right jobsworth.

For sure. Crap situation though for the OP.

Yep not a pleasant situation for him, maybe the QS is covering his behind, mustn't upset the NIC must we? after all they are the regulators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All he says to me is that my results aren't right when he calculates them

They wont be, he is obviously a numpty. Measured test results will always be a tad lower than calculated due to parallel paths, and in some cases they will be a lot lower.

Tell him to leave it to someone who knows what they are doing.....YOU, and advise him that he needs to do the Insp and test courses.

He said to me that maybe I should read the osg to refresh my memory on testing, and I corrected him by saying "don't you mean gn3?" He didn't even know what a mantell unit was either

 

[chrish_1977]

Needless to say I have been stopped from testing because im such a headache for him

Deffo a bit of a twot isn't he? who stopped you testing? your boss I bet he's a twot as well then.

 

[chrish_1977]

No the qs basically took all th testing and gave it to another guy to do, to be honest I'm not that bothered he can have all the grief about it as I'm not listened too and talked to like I'm fresh out of my apprenticeship

Maybe you should ask him whereabouts in the OSG these "rules" he keeps talking about are.

I have a good mate probably just like you, a QS good and conscientious, no one listened to him so eventually he left the company got binned by the NIC, because of all the crap they did, now there's a first.

I feel like the good ones mostly get looked over and the bad ones go on to get the authority

Cosy up to the NIC job done

Without knowing what test results your on about, it sounds like the QS is fudging the results to ensure Zs values are within limits? Is that right?
Maybe he thinks Zs = Ze + r1+r2 is the be all and end all??
In that case why would we bother doing loop impedance tests at all?

 

[tigerpaul]

Sounds like the QS has got someone else to sign his made up test sheets now and not you. Oh well more fool him!

 

[chrish_1977]

Very much so, he does keep telling me how to test, like I've never done it before and how I should be getting my results, glad I've been doing it wrong these past 6 years

I thought you had to have your 2391 or 2394/95 to be able to be a QS? I had to provide proof of them in order to become QS at my current company


fair to say Chris your QS is a total bellend and he's done you a favour, I've never had the NIC bloke come and demand that all the results must be bang on calculated values, so ontop of the bellend QS there's a bellend NIC bloke (surprise surprise) I'd crack on with the install work n leave him to it cause sooner or later he'll fudge some results that'll land him and the muppet that's happy to test for him up in court

 

[chrish_1977]

Thanks for all the replies, feel better that I had what I have been doing questioned for no other reason

 

[Brightspark2]

Has no one thought that the QS is just making the NIC bit up to back his argument. I have never been told that results must match calculated from the NIC and it seems other people above haven't either.

Might just be what the QS wants but mentions the NIC just to give him a bit more weight.

Depending on how long he's been in the job, he may not have needed anything, although 2391 would have been a good start.

There is now a NVQ3 for the job, called Qualified Supervisor.
