I like all other sparks do take the plates of live, but then we are competent people and know not to stick our fingers in before we have a good look. I am sure it is good practice but I just cant see the point.
I dont mean to be blunt, my girlfriend just read my post over my shopulder and said I was being cheeky lol. I truly dont mean to be, I just wanted to know why people do it, if I was given a valid reason I would do it every time. I am still learning at this stage and I really want to be the best electrician I can be, so sorry if i got your backs up![]()
Im with you mate. Never done it and probably never will unless it comes into regs. Dont really see the point. At the end of the day twin and earth is double insulated 4 a reason so the chances of a back box becoming live is surely pretty slim!
