turboplanner Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 IF in the course of repairing something, you notice that something else is in a dangerous condition, can you say "not my problem I wasn't brought here to fix that". I would imagine on an onus of duty of care there would be an expectation that you would do SOMETHING about it. I would think covering yourself by requiring a disclaimer. I am aware that further repairs need to be made to make this circuit comply, and that I have requested and paid for " ABC" only from T Jones.. Electricians will not work on houses that don't have the fully operational earth return isolators and that's a straight out safety issue.. Nev Duty of care has a very specific meaning in PL, so a study of that would probably answer your question. You are legally responsible for the advice you give so that will have a bearing on what you say. Just compartmentalising the issue usually decides what you do.
