Scottish Govt to regulate "electrician" description

Owain
Currently anyone can call themselves an electrician, without the need for any qualifications or competency.

The Scottish Government is gathering information and views on whether regulations should be introduced in relation to electricians. While the focus of the consultation is on domestic work carried out for individual consumers, it will also apply to commercial and industrial work.

    "will ask for a recommendation from a friend or neighbour."


    I think these days you will get even more traction from facebook - that seems to be the case around where I live (small village and large nearby village in England not Scotland). There are many tradesfolk who don't have a website or a landline but seem to do quite well word of mouth/facebook. The same questions ("do you know someone who...") come up so often the admins now run a live document of contact names. This includes electricians. No one ever asks about qualifications though......
