[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 470098, member: 1408"] The instance I describe was long before the phrase Health & Safety ...risk assessments etc . In reality , had I followed his instructions I would have been fried on the bus bars . They were a typical small contractor of that time ....wobbly steps...van with poor brakes ....compared with today , Health & Safety on a scale of 1 to 10 would score about 0.5 They had a stores at the yard with a storeman who was a pain . Two annoying things I remember :- 1) We used a lot of 1/4" drills either for trunking pins or the centre drill for our useless Enox tank cutters for drilling 3/4" holes for conduit. Ask for a couple of 1/4" drills and you got 5/32" that didn't fit the Enox cutters . Reason ?? 5/32" is a clearance size for 1/4" No good arguing , he stood firm . Trying to be clever . We used to swap them with the pipe fitters on site . 2) Ask for a 12" hacksaw blade Eclipse . " Are you cutting 6" trunking ? " No " Then you can't have one , just a 10" flexi Ding-Dong blade because you all keep breaking them " [/QUOTE]
