  • I wonder how many sparks sat in that beer garden and saw the potential danger but downed their pint and left with a shrug of the shoulders adamant that it was none of their business. Perhaps it would be no bad thing if electrical installation professionals signed up to a charter similar to the one that applies in some quarters of the fire safety industry. I am a member of the institute of fire prevention officers and I have absolutely no qualms about calling attention to blocked escape routes etc. I even reported one hotel to HSE and FRS when after a three night stay they still hadn’t removed builders equipment from the emergency escape stairs.
