No, you've said that you have a definition of work which excludes testing.I have already explained my reasoning.
No, not games, but to do with semantics, as in "what do you mean?"But you are only interested in semantic games revolving around the word 'work'
If the law does not define "work activity" then you cannot exclude some kinds of work and say the law does not apply to them because they aren't work.and asking me for non existant EAWR definitions of 'work activity'.
Testing is an example of a work activity on or near live conductors where it is unreasonable in all the circumstances for it to be dead and reasonable in all the circumstances for it to be done it while it is live.I will concede that the EAWR does allow for live testing, but I would always argue that testing is totally different from working on live equipment.
Nobody has claimed that all live working is the same.And anyone who thinks that testing for live or using a LI tester is the same as working on live systems is kidding themselves. And more importantly setting themselves up for a serious accident.
And all this because you said "Live working is illegal, except for specialist live jointers" and "Live working is specifically forbidden by 'the electricty at work regulations'" and "if you are doing live working you are almost certainly acting illegally. Unless you work and have been specifically trained by a dno to work on their systems", refused to accept that you were wrong, treated every request to explain what you meant or to look at what the EAWR actually said as "semantic games" and tried to wriggle out of the hole you were in by saying that testing was not a work activity.I know all this does'nt suit your utopian beliefs that all things must be black or white, but ask yourself, am I bovvered.
I spent quite a lot of time working on battery systems, that was classed as working live - and it would bite if you put your hands across 400v worth of cells! It could also explode if you cross the poles.
And with luck you might get splashed with hot acid!
