Why safe isolation matters, and working out of hoursWhose risk is safe isolation?
Free from the notes: Sparky’s video on it, the section word for word as members see it, and a PDF to keep.
The notes
Exactly as they are on the site.
If safe isolation is not carried out properly, the risk is not only yours:
- You, as the inspector, working on something you believe is dead
- Others working around you, moving past or above you
- The public, who may come into contact with live parts you have left accessible
You will not always be in a house. A shopping centre, a hospital, an underground station. The procedure does not change, but the consequences of skipping it do.
Expect to be asked to work out of hours. A factory does not want downtime, and will not pay staff to sit at home while you inspect. The same in a shop — isolating a lighting circuit means that area cannot be used safely, so customers have to go elsewhere.
