[QUOTE="Sidney, post: 472528, member: 30039"] All I want is the designer to either give me a risk assessment or agree to fit RCD socket-outlets. I know he won't want to stick his name down to anything as he will take full liability in the unlikely event of someone getting a fatal shock. Due to the varied layouts and nature of telephone exchanges you cannot guarantee that some will just use a socket for maintenance and anything could be plugged in for general use, potentially some for outdoor use. This leaves us with having to use RCD protection, but this will cost money, who will pay for this? As the installers we're haven't signed a contract to provide additional parts at cost and neither has our customer. BT will say this is for ourselves and our customer to sort out, the just want the racks put in as per their original contract. Catch 22 for our customer. I'm just covering my arse. [/QUOTE]
