I kept forgetting to post this until prompted by the other insurance thread and liability risk if you are at fault.
A couple of weeks ago, whilst we were at Blackpool South CC site Jill got into a discussion with one of the wardens about a couple of EHU cables which were in use whilst still partially coiled and the consequent fire risk. The warden told her it was something that happened regularly and that wardens have often faced abuse if they point out the dangers.
Now the important bit. Apparently the CC have taken advice on the issue and have been told that if a fire does occur because of overheating of a coiled EHU cable then the insurance cover held by the person using the cable might well be void and they may be liable for any damage themselves.
