[QUOTE="phil d, post: 476573, member: 27126"] When doing the practical side, [B]never [/B]leave the board unattended with the cover off [B]unless [/B]you have locked off the main isolator and [B]don't[/B] leave the key lying about, you'll fail! My last apprentice was doing his exam, he'd taken the cover off a 3 phase board and the instructor asked him to come to the bench for a minute, he said he'd be over when he'd locked off the board, then later, as he was going for a break he was asked to leave the lockout key on the bench, 'so we don't lose it'. he refused, saying it would be fine in his pocket. He passed his exam and the instructor actually said that he'd tried twice to trip him up on safety issues, once by asking him to come to the bench, he was hoping he'd leave the board unsecured, and later by asking him to leave the key on the bench. He said it was amazing the number of people who fell for it, safety is a really big part of things and quite rightly so, but it's so easy to overlook something like putting a lock on at the right moment when you're thinking about other things. Good luck with it [/QUOTE]
