I would be interested to hear the outcome. Good luck!!
Hey all, first update: After presenting my case and explaining my refusal so issue a COC, I have been given a months notice.In short, sign the COC or leave(implied not said).This is fine by me.Will find another job(any leads?) and wait for the tame sparky to sign the COC and then go the DOL route.I can go now but then the tame sparky gets away.
Well done for having the balls to do what's right.
Watching the ships passing by.
Go straight to the CCMA for unfair dismissal.
Bargaining council situation.
Go straight to the National Bargaining Council for the Electrical Industry and register a dispute.

Eish! Talk about not seeing the obvious, thanx for the heads up!
Iwas so engrossed in this whole issue that it slipped me entirely that I have legal recourse
for myself as well.Guess I have a lot of homework this weekend.
Good for you. And don't be surprised if you get begged to come back. They not only fired you illegally, it was done because you refused to break the law. The state of the workplace will also become public and they might just be forced to close their doors. Seems to me you could be in for finacial incentive to do the right thing again. Well done.
As long as your technical case is strong (the installation is not compliant), it should be pretty simple. At this stage just download the dispute forms on the website, fill them in and send them off.
You can't be dismissed for doing your job, and them requiring you to issue a COC or face dismissal on an installation that isn't up to standard is unreasonable.
Consider it part of the negotiating process on the issue. As you are in the notice period, the decision to dismiss is easily reversable - there doesn't need to be any losers.

Quick update, The powers that be have got nasty and tried and force the issue . I am now on my way to submit the necessary paperwork against the factory.
Negotiation is not an alternative as the simple issue of trust is non existent.
Technically my case is very strong.I have a list of faults I will post later that are all "bulletproof" evidence.
Will keep you all updated.
I'm truly sorry to hear this. It sounds like positions are hardening.
I'd get to mediation and (if needed) arbitration as quickly as possible to prevent further escalation. It sounds like you've got a strong case and you might not see the need for urgent action - but there are bridges burning and letting them burn is never a good thing.
