In my 'opinion'..... It's completely legal for someone to remove it as we have no authorisation in the eyes of the law to isolate anything. You have followed best practice and refer to non statutory guidance which we all work to. Should something happen a prosecution would be sought under the EAWR. If you have done everything you can to work to the regs then that's all you can do. I'd take lots and lots of photos if I were you.A cable joint and some lashed up distribution board. Cables hanging in free air that sort of thing.
I would like to know if it's illegal for someone to remove my padlock without my consent
In a domestic situation I would agree with you but as this is a commercial / industrial job I would suggest that it would depend on the company policy and who is deemed to be the dutyholder in the situation and what is expected of them.In my 'opinion'.....
