I have now discovered that there is yet another isolation switch

When he switched the second isolation switch on again he noticed that
it was live. So no real danger then.

Fact remains that somebody deliberately over-rode a safety lockout and
that cannot go unreported.

Next time there might not be a second isolator, or someone might over-
ride that as well.

There's a new temporary padlock for the first switch complete with a
new large double-sided red sign. Only the electrician has a key. He
always supervises the work.
None of the morons knows about the second isolation switch or has a
key to that box. I think the system is now safe enough. Unfortunately
the world is full of unobservant morons. We can't get rid of all of
them. Some of them may be useful in other ways.
