    Well I think you have to be prepared to take a view and stick your head above the parapet when you think there maybe a problem with an item of equipment.

    I was inspecting and testing the local shop's electrical equipment including a couple of newish microwave ovens. Both tested ok on earth bond and insulation, although one had a low imsulation resistance of about 8 MOhms. I made a note on the results sheet that one of the microwaves may fail and sure enough it failed a week later..
