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.

    Sparkingchip,

    Yes in some ways its not far off the mark, but "Typically" and  "May " will be the two words that will cause the issues just as we have now.

    Not having a go at you as I think your words on this string have been helpful to those reading it.


    How on earth the Scot Gov or indeed the voluntary schemes involved hope to do any better then goodness knows. The I.E.T do have a scheme for Electrician EngTech. Something I voluntered to assess applications etc given I came thru the apprenticeship route. I havent excatly been overwhelmed  with applications and to be honest not really seen any real advertisements and promotion of the scheme.


    Would that not be another possible solution? Again its all down to consumers buying into things.
