Regulation of electricians in Scotland: research report. Research conducted by Pye Tait.

Reading the report I put myself into the category of having had more than my fair share of defective installations to repair.


A quote from the report:


It would be fair to say, we feel, that the skilled electricians responding to the Call for Evidence came from that section of the occupation which had had more than its fair share of defective installations to repair and, perhaps, more experience of the impacts of low-competence operatives. 



As such they might have more cause to be sympathetic to the concept of increasing regulation and to any change which would protect their skilled capabilities from being simulated by lesser-skilled people.


The problem is the author of the report could not actually decide who is doing dodgy electrical work in people’s homes.

The report.

    However, attempting to get the best financial deal, and a lack of technical understanding, can sometimes lead to householders taking on tradespeople who are not qualified or up-to-date, or who compromise on quality and safety for other reasons. Regardless of the level of qualification and up-to-date-ness tradespeople may also fall into categories such as "honest but incompetent" and "dishonest rogue traders AND incompetent".
