" thought that the Isolator could be padlocked on as long as the Fire Service was notified and given a key."

Don't do it, they are watching you know!

"Section 51A(??) of the Fire Service Act says that you are not allowed to render a disconnect ineffective by a lock, even if the local Brigade has a key."

Respect to our Fire Servie and Firefighters, Who cares what the fire service act says, we got our own rules.

FYI 90% of the SB's i have installed in commercial or industrial installations over the last few-some years or so are in a LOCKED cupboard, room or the like.
