When you refer to the Buss isolator, is it not a Bill as in Bill Switchgear ?The cable colours are just one of the older variants R W Bu Bk preceded RYB Bk , nothing wrong with it. The size is difficult to tell on a photo, it will be imperial , but looks more like 10mm equivalent than 16 TBH.

Sorry...I meant Bill not bleedin Buss....long day. Your right it does look more like a 10mm equivalent. Still unsure what to do regarding asbestos switchgear!

gs,

I would respectfully suggest your first option is to traceably inform your client in writing that you have very strong grounds to suspect that there is asbestos contained within the switchgear, and that this material may have been inadvertently uncontrollably released into the atmosphere by previous persons unknown.



At this point you should note that you should to comply with the CAR have formally requested sight of his asbestos register prior to starting works on the site.

Thanks Paul. I appreciate your time and effort writing that reply.

Before reading your post I had just emailed the client informing him of the potential problem and the fact that a specialist company should be called in. I was not sure whether this was the right thing to do as I have probably just lost the job! ray

However after reading your reply I now think it was the right thing to do. Better safe than sorry.

Cheers.
