 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

I wish I was as clever as you. I bet you even cleaned the nails in the fuse holders. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

That's what screwits (wire nuts to foreigners) are for, isn't it? ;) I think I still have a couple of the proper ceramic ones somewhere... Oh, and don't forget the small mole grips on the isolator shaft. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

You would have a fit if you had a look around this place, Mick. I really have found 30A fuses bridged with 1.5mm  I don't work for them but I have full use of the facility but I also fix their stuff. One guy using a circular saw had been "getting shocks" routinely. He only told me when they were becoming "unbearable" 🤣 |

Sheesh.... LOL The sort of place that forgot what H&S was when the first edition regs came out, eh? :) I've seen a couple. Best not to open too many doors 'cos you don't really want to know what's inside! Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

One of the funniest Simpsons episodes, Homer gets to be "safety officer" He walks around: "YOU! Be more safe" "Hey YOU! Be safer" 🤣 I found this hilarious because it's reality, even in ISO9001 certified facilities. Purely symbolic 😂🤣 |

All you really need is to need a tool to get in (a screwdriver will do) and have a label on the door saying "Danger of death, no unauthorized access. Contact: Fred Bloggs". It doesn't matter that Fred is hardly ever available. What's on the other side of the door doesn't matter. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

I come across these virtue-signaling guys all the time; there might very well be an approved safety mat, laser-scanner and with all the credentials BUT they are tied into a "HOLD" command. The potent energy is still all over the machine. I offer a ZEH (zero-energy-hold) package that removes all energy from the machine. The virtue-signal guy? Crickets because there is money involved. It's all BS |
