My job involves working in private homes and I have to use Power Tools (240v). Quite often I am left alone all day while the customer goes out to work etc. regarding health and safety at work, is it legal for me to be doing this?
Yes of course it is. We might have a Nanny state in the Uk but we do not have work in twos just in case someone hurts themselves.

i would say someone like a younger boy should definitely not be working alone with power tools, someone older like you could probably be ok doing it. whether it is technically legal to be doing it on your job or not, i do not know.
