Fridays FindRoof Space Wiring Chaos

Whilst undertaking fixed wire inspection & testing at a large manufacturing site, our Guardian Engineers revealed chaotic scenes in the roof space.

Issues included

Contactors with no covers
Various light points unscrewed, leaving terminals exposed
Cables running over floor space. Enclosures/covers missing
Distribution boards installed in unsafe areas, restricting access
Live conductors enclosed in ferrous metal enclosures, not all passing through the same hole as required by regulation

Questions to ask yourself

Would you feel safe working in this type of environment?
As a Dutyholder, looking at these images, what would you change?

Fixed wire, inspection & testing is a legal requirement. Scenes such as this, left untested can, and do, prove fatal.
Luckily, all issues identified here have since had EDNs issues and rectification work can now begin.
