The Streetwise Subbie
ethos - Most disasters originate from simple causes!
This web site, like the consultancy itself, is based
on the simple ethos of “The Streetwise Subbie” (now
available in third edition) and the regular John Russell column in Electrical Times (ie that most disasters originate from relatively
simple causes, rather than from obtuse case law) and that most of such
disasters can be avoided by the implementation and
maintenance of basic routines in the office and on site.

Good luck – and remember – despite the current fashion for “partnering”
and “mission statements”, the leopard doesn’t change his spots, and whilst many
“builders” are trying hard to look like pussy cats, just wait until the project
falls into trouble! When that happens,
it’s going to be a big help if you’ve been “streetwise”.
