So the risk assessment would have to include some sort of mitigation to prevent use of the dedicated socket outlets for other purposes, especially if used to supply mobile equipment outdoors.I understand that side of things however the original design is only for the welding equipment, there are other outlets for other devices and all other tools used in the bays are either air tools or battery tools.
Thanks.
Thank you i will see if I can use this.Thanks.
Interesting and useful but not really a risk assessment for justifying omission of RCDs for additional protection.
This unfortunately is the side of the job I’m trying to learn, I’ve spent my entire working life on the tools and not much time on the paperwork side of things, unfortunately also I have no one to turn to in our office for advice and help, hence why ive posted to the forum. Hoping someone would maybe have a suitable scenario that they have been through themselves.Interesting and useful but not really a risk assessment for justifying omission of RCDs for additional protection.
A risk assessment should identify the hazards, who or what is at risk and from what? And then should identify what has been put in place to minimise the danger presented by such hazards.
The format was dictated by city and guilds so I can't really comment beyond that. It justifies omission with appropriate reg numbers, outside of the regs I'm not entirely sure what you'd want on it.Interesting and useful but not really a risk assessment for justifying omission of RCDs for additional protection.

All I see is a somewhat useful list of where RCDs may or may not be required by BS7671, not a justification where it may be desired or necessary to deliberately omit an RCD in a situation where it would normally be required.The format was dictated by city and guilds so I can't really comment beyond that.

The point of it is we're justifying omission using the regs to present the argument.
By all means take it up with C&G, I merely offered it as an example, you're welcome to expand on it or devise one to share.All I see is a somewhat useful list of where RCDs may or may not be required by BS7671, not a justification where it may be desired or necessary to deliberately omit an RCD in a situation where it would normally be required.
You're welcomeThank you so much for your help,
