[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 462035, member: 17152"] This is typical of British Gas and the poor advice they give out to their engineers. Not bad as they feel they can offer an Electrical service as well. Joshua, there is a distinct difference in proving safe isolation as opposed to just being satisfied that there is no stray voltage. At the very least I’d suggest you get yourself the appropriate test equipment. Id also advise that you print off the approved safe isolation from the link provided by our Sidney and take it into your bosses. Ask them to distribute to the engineers, that’s the gas ones as their electricians should already know better. Ask yourself this, if their method fails you and caused you to become injured who do you think they will blame? [/QUOTE]
