[QUOTE="binky, post: 184394, member: 490"] Having formerly been involved with writing various sorts of instruction manuals, technical documents, and method statements, I know how hard it is to write all encompassing instructions that cover every eventuallity, especially across the entire nation and millions of people. This is why I will rarely argue 'black and white' ' it's in the regs', and will quite happily consider what was really meant / intended by the regs writer with regards to certain scenarios. The aim of the regs is to promote electrical safety through technical compliance and good practice. It has never been intended as a 'must comply' regardless document to be slavishly followed like Pavlovs' dogs. I will however point out that a sound technical knowledge of electrics and safety aspects therein is essential to make sound judgements about grey areas of the regs. It is not advised that junior (or senior) members go off willy nilly ingnoring inconvienient parts of the regs cos Binky said I could make up my own stuff!!! This has been a public safety announcment.......... :^O [SIZE=8px][COLOR=#C0C0C0]---------- Post Auto-Merged at 08:16 ---------- Previous post was made at 08:14 ----------[/COLOR][/SIZE] State your source in of info in writing in the observations box or attach to certs [/QUOTE]
