I'm not against anyone in this forum.
For years techs in the real world have been carrying out routine tests that were deemed to be applicable to the circumstances they work under. They (we) don't need to wait for "guidelines" to come along to tell them (us) what to do.
Yes, it is common sense isn't it! I share your feeling.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Who says "this is the best way to move forward"? Move forward to what? Electrical safety testing is already universal. And it has been common practice to carry out such tests as part of PM, and following repairs, for as long as I can remember.
Well said! Let matter takes it path! Let people decide on their choices.
I don't profess to be an expert in the field of electrical safety testing but I was tasked with providing training to our field service engineers. I did my homework and produced the training which has even been shown to those who have performed testing for more than 25 years and even made them think and re-visit the way they perform their tests. I am always willing to learn and be shown the error of my ways even with my 30 years of experience, are you?
Good to be humble, mate! Obviously your task gets going without people questioning you too much!
