Mr Fix-it, you sound just like me. I cant get much done with some `watcher`over my shoulders. How many of us can even read a newspaper with someone looking over your shoulder.
When i`m diagnosing a complicated electrical fault, i need privacy to think. If you pause to to think any problem through, Someone will immediately say `why dont you check this, why dont you try this`
Those are the worst! The know it alls who look who think they can do a better job.
There were some good suggestions from other techs like the fellow who set up a work zone. Yes...i`ll get about 15 safety cones and set up a perimeter with a sign that says `Work zone, do not enter`
And the suggestions from EdwardT would be a big help...but i dont have his wit and improv to come up with that stuff!
Our Employer should provide us with warning signs stating insurance regulations and work space policy, dangers to other workers from hazardous dust and fumes. Then we just have to point to the sign....
