fireflybob,
I can't see the point of your boss telling the engineers not to make a safety call that has been common safe practice for decades. In fact should an incident happen it is clear that the safety net was removed. Perhaps he did not learn how to cover his backside at CFS!!
Perhaps that guy can get the engineers to stop that red voltage light illuminating when the battery is turned on....after all if the engine isn't running it is only crying wolf!!!

QSK,
Agree totally. It isn't the words that count but the fact that a warning which is understood by the people it is aimed at is issued.
How many French people understand "clear prop"?.......more than Engilsh people who understand the French equivalent.
Simply shouting Oi Oi Oi loudly can act as a verbal warning even if it would not be CFS standard and a bit yob-ish
Perhaps we should have a simple horn system fitted similar to the system that we have for lorries reversing.
