Exposed: Cash for logos and drive by inspections

Inadequate inspections on the safety of wiring in buildings across England are increasing the risk of fires, E&T has found. A flawed regulatory system has sparked a race to the bottom, with some businesses profiting at the expense of the public’s safety.

  • So would you feel as comfortable in a hot tub in your garden without 30 mA RCD protection to the socket supplying it or even just a fishpond pump?

    A bit less comfortable about the hot tub - as there's no supplementary bonding (unlike the 16th Ed shower setup) but probably tolerable. Again I suspect there's plenty of creepage/clearance distances internally. RCDs won't help with the main issue of exporting earth (PME) faults.

    Much less comfortable about the pond pump - flex much more easily damaged by wildlife/gardening tools.
