Appeal against Employment Tribunal decision uphelding a prohibition notice served by the respondent, an inspector employed by the Health and Safety Executive. The appellant was a sub-contractor on a major construction site in Leeds responsible for the installation of mechanical and electrical plant. The respondent together with two other inspectors visited the site. They entered a High Voltage room which contained transformers, one of which had exposed jointed cables at its rear and other exposed conductors. Contact with any exposed conductor would, if it were live, create a risk of death by electric shock or serious injury from burns.
