Removing someone else's isolation

[snowhead]

I would like to know if it's illegal for someone to remove my padlock without my consent

No it's not illegal, there's no specific law governing it, there couldn't be one.
But it is for the person who removes it to be confident that the installation is safe for use as they are then taking responsibility for energising it.

Make sure you have a written copy of the
If I don't remove it myself, then someone else will from the boss and your refusal and why you refuse.

It's then for the boss to find someone who will remove and energise.

IN MY OPINION... If your lock off has been put in place as cables etc were damaged and then someone has came along and carried out a temporary repair and tested there worked and signed it off in their name, in my eyes they are therefore taking on the responsibility of the work and you can no longer be blamed for any issues.

I assume there has been a permit issued with the isolation? Surely you could hand it over marking your concerns and leave them to energise it? If your handing over control and they are aware of the issues it's there problem surely. Do they have another sap to energise it?
