Sparkingchip:
97% of people want electricians to be qualified, so long as it doesn’t stop them from doing DIY electrical work in their homes, homes that may then be sold on to someone else and it doesn’t stop unqualified people like plumbers and kitchen fitters doing electrical work for them.
So whats your views then Sparkingchip? Is Scot Gov just wasting time on this consultation, and as such nothing changes other than some promotion of the existing voluntary schemes?
You mention "Unqualified people like plumbers and kitchen fitters"!! but what makes them unqualified? qualified to what as Reg 16 of the EAWR 1989 is all we have in law plus the registration schemes with local authorities,
Any person can visit their local DIY store or go online and buy consumer units, RCD's, SPD's, cable and accessories take it home and fit it or have the local handyman from the pub install it all and nobody knows any diffrent until there is a fire, shock or the premises is sold on. Do Scot Gov think they or even the electrical industry can change that?
