[QUOTE="soulman, post: 227201, member: 9680"] personally i think anyone who works live with meter tails are very brave i wouldn't do it. In my opinion, i would always assess the condition of the fuse carrier snip and pull the fuse, then reseal with something later. Who has the time to waste waiting for someone to pull a fuse. the dno should provide a point for isolation they dont in most cases, i think the dno dont encourage it because if you hurt yourself then they would be liable if they gave the permission to pull the fuse. As for the meter tails apparently passed the meter belongs to the customer and 25mm tails should now be fitted, so if they were fitted to a henlys or d.p isolator then are you still responsible for that section of tails. I also think that when you register with a scheme you should be assessed using the correct equipment gloves & facemask pulling the main fuse, as a competant person, until all households are provided with an isolation point.
