[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 443489, member: 28452"] I would say that you are correct in having some reservations, and as a general rule should never carry out any task you aren't confident about. If you are operating as a member of a team, ie under instruction and supervision, then I think it unlikely that you personally would be prosecuted. I think the focus of any action following an incident would more likely be on your manager or the company as a whole, for failing to ensure competence or their employee, have adequate management procedures in place etc.. In this respect I doubt if electrical work is different to other tasks you may carry out. As example, if you construct something which collapses causing injury the same question could arise; your fault or your manager's? Why not suggest the company sponsor you on a training course?
