Nice spot for a DB.

[Sintra]

Came across this little gem a few weeks ago. DB located in a riser on a staircase. Unfortunately it was at the top lol with a nice little platform to access it.

Oh and the only way to access the platform once you have it pulled down is to climb over the banister.

The bottom small consumers unit looks like it could be fun trying to get the lid off

Whose boot is edging along the ledge.

Please post a copy of your risk assessment ,

Is that a birds nest just below the bottom right hand corner of the big consumer unit ?

Yes that looks like a challenge to get at.

Simple, remove the platform..

That’s the boot of the “local electrician” who was showing me round the building which isn’t in the UK.

The RAMS are to remove the entire staircase and build a scaffold to get access to rip it out.

Someone raised the issue of access to the DB.
Someone procured quote(s) for the work, I bet this was the cheapest solution.
Someone else proposed this design as acceptable and manufactured and fitted the platform and very nice it looks too although totally unsuitable for the problem.
Someone authorised the payment , may have been the procurer.

How many people is that in total that were aware of the problem and were involved in the solution and have used the platform since it's installation and all thought this was acceptable.?

It looks like it impinges the height access up and down stairs.

It couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
That's go to be somewhere like Malta or Cyprus or Gibralta?
