Rob being so far away hit's the nail straight on the head.
There have been a number of publicised cases here where nothing more than a phone call have landed your EC in very hot water.
Most of these cases have come about from where EC's here have refused to connect non-compliant wiring, 99% of the time, installed by the Home-owner on the other end of the phone.
Most of the time they are told to get an Inspector to test/connect the work, that is after all what the Regulations say.
Only an Inspector can connect H/O work.
Some idiots have gone off at a tangent and complained against the EC and it ends up in front of the EWRB.
Now, with thier Kangaroo court, allsorts of nasty things can and do happen.
To close, I just wish that we'd stop being hit with a $K Stick and concentrate on those that are actually breaking the LAW.
35% of Electrical workers in NZ don't hold a Practicing Licence.
10% hold no qualifications at all, yet they are allowed to work within our Industry.
Who's really at fault here?.
