Guitar GodEchoes, echoes. When I watched these as a young lad, my Dad would say 'turn that racket off!' These days they look more like my Mum & Dad. Life's cruel over time;
this guy should be locked up somewhere and the key threw awayThe worst thing is leaving a known fault working with no protection.
How much did Kevin charge the client for the work as they should be chasing him for the money at least.
I'm thinking the thread went just slightly off topic for a minute then... Marmite, Dave gilmore vids? wtf, lmao!...does that "Kevin" guy work near Leeds aswell..?? had similar problem, drove 2 hours early Sunday morning to get greeted by fireworks display and burning smells...! should be reported asap even if family friend...
yeah, but,no but. just for a treat for all, turn up the vol. chill.still be kevins about for us to take the pi$$ out of tomorrow.:I'm thinking the thread went just slightly off topic for a minute then... Marmite, Dave gilmore vids? wtf, lmao!
Sorry biggal5, you were saying he should be reported? Not sure who to or who would care. My understanding is a competency scheme (not that he will belong to one) would require the customer to complain then they have to allow him to return to rectify it. We all know scheme providers aren't going to throw away paying members. Building control? They prob wouldn't do anything cos of lack of paperwork. Trading standards? Let's face it if trading standards were any use half the companies in the country would be out of business...
I say we start up our own Electrical vigilante group. We'll be like Kick---- and we can call ourselves something like Flash-men? Who's in?? (and who can think of a better name? one that doesn't make us sound like we're only dressed in macs standing on street corners..)
Yep. Years ago H&S wasn't even a consideration, not so nowadays. Think the pendulum has now swung too far in the opposite direction.
According to the CDM 2015, I now have to complete a risk assessment when I go to Mrs Miggins house (doing a lot of work there recently?) to change her light bulbs (lamps to some). Madness I tell you, madness
Jeez caveman, I think you've been drinking more than me. Good on yer!
Would not like to meet you on site, CDM is now revised, its 2017, anyone who does not keep up with legislation is as bad as the electrician in the OP's post, prior to 2017 a private residence did not come under the CDM legislation unless the work involved over five contractors or was to last over thirty days.
Incidentally the Health and Safety at work act is dated 1954 are you going back before that with you comment of it not being a consideration or just that you never considered it?
For your information you have to carry out a Hazard Analysis before you document a Risk Assessment.
Without knowing the correct process you are putting your client and any company you work for in direct contravention of the law and open to prosecution it may seem clever to poo poo this, but when you have to stand up in court and answer a prosecuting Barristers questions you want feel so smart.

i just went on that citb website and tried to download it. it told me i did not have a device. then said go to google play store, whatever that is, then looped back to you don't have a device.
What were you using a PC/Android tablet -or a phone ... Play-store is mostly about Phones -- Some features are missing from tablets though they are Android .!... citb website ...... it told me i did not have a device. then said go to google play store..then looped,
Bit cheeky lolSuspect he might have been a plumber to start with because he is certainly no electrician!
better!i don't think that even a plumber could be so stupid. a builder perhaps. either way kevin needs a 25 mm tail shoving up his arse with 240V applied.
Well done, visual inspection = Hazard analysis, hazards identified = paper work starts, carry out risk assessment, risk = high prepare method statement, clearly not carried out by the site manager, would have been interesting to see what his last Safety inspection report said. You identified the most common risk that of trench collapse, normally always associated with encroaching traffic, more power to you for your diligence and respect of your work force.

Nobody called you a Dork, but now you mention it.....................
