everybody makes mistakes, it's the repeat offenders who do not learn from them that are the problem...

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

well the company paid and it was taken out of my wage it is the way they work.

If the customer said you burst a brick they would pay for it to be replaced, customer says you wrecked her garden plants they paid, customer says you walked mud over there carpet you paid for a new carpet.

No wonder they don't hesitate to pay out to the customers, when they are potentially claiming on their insurance & taking the money from engineering staff.

Double whammy anyone?

tbf their excess is probably far greater than most claim so no.

Once drilled through a 2" lead gas pipe buried in a wall. No sign of where it came or went to! Had to evacuate a solicitors with over 25 staff, for over an hour till the gas board arrived! Small talk in the carpark was limited,lol. Turned out to be an old gas pipe which was not feeding anywhere and had been capped off but left live! Not my best day!

You'd be doing well to get through the wall before it broke/battery gave up with that kit these days

Was on a job in a grade 1 listed library, chippy was told to take up some floor boards so he went at it with circular saw, straight through a mains water pipe . 10metres of water jet fountain all over the old books etc. He wasn't flavour of the month! Put the job back by 3 weeks.
