Health & safety bulletin
Unsafe Circuit Breaker
9th September 2010
Please see enclosed self explanatory bulletin from the BP/Bovis Global Alliance.
Unfortunately it is not uncommon to find electrical installations on some dealer sites in poor condition, this example shows the need to always be vigilant when working near electrical equipment, and never assume the existing installation is correct or safe.
When you are carrying out your lock out tag out (LOTO) procedures, always take a look at the state of the distribution board, if it is in poor condition this will give you a indication of the likelihood of their being faults on the circuits (and thereby increase the risk of the MCB you lock off not isolating the signage).
If it looks unsafe, it probably is, so don't take the chance.
