Electrical safety in social housing

Northern Spark

Does anyone know what laws/regulations apply to the electrical safety of social housing? As I believe they currently exempt from the PRS requirement.

    As an NICEIC contractor, surely they should check the quality of work by your subbies? You are the QS, so occasional checking is surely insufficient? You are signing paperwork as having full oversight and responsibility for the reports. Are you really happy with this?

    The system is broken isn't it Lyle? Obviously you are as far as possible, one of the good guys, but surely the schemes know that there are loads of bad guys out there and don't care? What comeback on the schemes is available, they claim to be the Quality Control of contractors, but this clearly doesn't work?
