Hi there guys. I am working as a maintenance electrician in an office block. There are Shower rooms on some of the floors, with electric shower units in the Shower cubicles. These are your ordinary White plastic units with the flexible hose coming out of the bottom. I had to check the supply to them. I was told they were put in about 5 years ago. I noticed that they all have a piece of top cover plate missing, you can look down and see the supply cables coming in to the units through the wall. The hole is big enough to get three fingers in it. You cant touch the cables as they are further down. You cant see the actual termination points, as these are behind the moulded plastic of the unit. Water could still get in on the cables as well as condensation. They each come from a normal 40 Amp breaker not an RCD. I told this to my boss, he still wants me to turn them on. I am not going to put power to them. If I did , what Laws or Regulations would I be breaking. Anyone know. Thank you all for any replies in advance.
