SPARKSAFE ARRIVES ON THE MAINLAND

John Peckham
I saw the announcement at the Elex show in Harrogate that NAPIT had formed a partnership with Sparksafe. I assume all NAPIT registered contractors will gain automatic status for the License to Practice without needing the qualifications for direct membership?


I did hear that a well known rail contractor walked away from a contract as they did not have enough operatives that met the LtP criteria.


I am thinking that if it did gain traction a lot of contractors would be in the brown stuff as they would no longer be able to use cheap unqualified labour.


Google Sparksafe to see what it is all about. They don't seem to have many members at the moment.

    I'm not overly comfortable with the use of the term 'licence' as given the commonly understood meaning of the term (e.g. driving licence) it could be interpreted to mean that anyone who is not part of the scheme and is therefore 'unlicenced' and is doing something illegal by undertaking electrical work, when (subject to the requirements of EAWR Regulation 16 being met) this is not the case.


    I'm all for the raising of the the academic and practical standards within the electrical industry - however it seems there is a proliferation of schemes each with a different purpose and scope, which are often poorly understood within the industry, let alone by clients and potential clients.
