Default Keeping the power off

Any other ideas? It's too late to sack a moron after the electrician
is dead.


A circuit breaker lockout kit. This has a lockout hasp with multiple
holes. Each hole takes a padlock, each electrician has a personal
padlock. Each person working on that circuit adds their padlock to the
hasp. When they finish their job they remove their padlock. When all the
padlocks have gone the hasp is removed and the power is switched back
on. To guard against ****wittery (going home and forgetting to remove a
padlock) the gaffer has a master key which fits all of the padlocks so
if things do get forgotten the gaffer can remove the offending
padlock(s).

This needs some discipline and a procedure to follow in the event of a
forgotten padlock/lost key.
