danger notification?

[gpz900jim]

I went to a job today, the light circuit was protected by a mcb but no RCD. All of the light fittings and switches were metal. I told the house owner that she would be well advised to have an rcd fitted. She didnt seem too bothered. Would it be a bit over the top to issue a danger notification?

IMO it would be well over the top to issue such a notice.

You say all the fittings were metal, was there a CPC present in the lighting circuit???

Was there any danger to justify the danger notification

as des and lenny. if cpc present and no danger, why ??

 

[gpz900jim]

there was no cpc so thats why i was concerned

if there is no CPC, then IMO yopu are right to issue danger notification. even if you were to rectify that tommoprow morning, in the meantime, a latent fault may cause miss smith to grow an afro, and you might be blamed. cover yourslef mate.

all IMO

 

[telectrix]

you should put your concerns in writing to the customer. all depends on how much of a danger you see it as.

IMHO EDN = IMMEDIATE possibility or danger of fire/electric shock.
IF another fault must occur 1st, then recorded delivery letter explaining the situation in detail addressed to the "duty holder"

ok, thanks, that advice makes sense.
