That doesn't isolate the board just the outgoing circuits.As i would hope that you could lift the flap and turn off the main switch a lot easier
as you can see in the picture, nobody would really want to stick fingers or anything else close

I could tell that by the pic, them finals are in great nick. lol they are.!!fire was nothing to do with the fuse board( however strange nothing tripped) but yep a bit of Cillit Bang and BANG it would be as good as new !
When will people stop saying these boards are unsafe fires are caused by poor workmanship not making sure connections are properly tightened there are thousands of these boards fitted perfectly safe installations done by proper sparks. The London fire service were the main complainants of pvc boards but agreed that bad workmanship was the reasons for the fires. I was called to a house of a friend who had no power and when I investigated I found her 80 year old father had decided to change consumer unit himself this is what sparks are up against.
Did he use 2mm earth sleeving for the CPCs I do wonder!
I shudder now when I see 3mm or even sometimes 4mm.Ain't it funny how some things stick in your mind and who quoted it.
