A friend of my wife is an inspector for the state labor board. She was telling us a
prime source of information is the newspapers.
There was a picture on the front page of our local paper showing workers finishing
up on a new theater. One was cutting metal pipe with a chop saw, no gloves or
safety glasses, in the back ground was a worker on a lift with boxes stacked on top
the railing, no safety harness and the gate on the lift basket was open.
BUSTED! All work was stopped and the entire crew was fired, The company was fined.
and the theater was three months late getting opened. All the inspections had to be
redone.

You have just showed up PAT testers for what they are.....primarily an administrative tool that is primarily devised for use by the unqualified.
This is why many of the test and tag only courses concentrate on the pat tester and not the use of a stand alone insulation tester.
If a cable came into my hands and did not pass the visual test......I am obliged ( under the QLD electricity act) to either repair it or render it safe before it leaves my sight.
cheersAny thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
