Aesop's fable of the ass and safe isolation

Safe isolation is as old as the hills, as can be shown here in one of Aesop’s lesser-known fables. I’m not sure why this one isn’t so popular or published considering its message remains relevant today, but then my GCSE History was only grade C and most of that, insultingly considering this island’s long heritage, was on the American West.

Like a cheesy cartoon of the 1970s, this one has a moral to its tale: when it comes to working on electrics, don’t be an ass. The #Safe4September campaign promotes awareness of safe isolation for the new autumn college intake by using the correct methods and procedures to ensure you don’t… y’know… die on some git’s poxy electrical job. Of course, it doesn’t just apply to the kids, nor to just the month of September, so ignore it at your peril!

Also, this video isn’t the be-all-and-end-all when it comes to safe isolation; it mentions nothing about gaining permission to shut off power, seeking permits for work, locking off, using notices, checking between phases, yada, yada, yada. What do you want from me? This nonsense is bloody expensive to put together and ruins my drinking time! Gordon Bennett! The cheek of you people!

That said, back in my slimmer and more sensibly hair-styled days, I did knock up a proper vid on the subject:    • Safe isolation procedure
