It was the ministers decision as to whether we had the competent person schemes we have now, or if (as advised by the select committee) a government rules mandatory system was implemented such as Gas Safe.
The minister changes everything!
With regards to the licensing JIB bit..
How does the...
That's perfectly understandable.
I need to be careful not to give too much info away as yet as we have had some leaks of information already and some of our evidence has now been 'removed' so-to-speak.
I can tell you that we are a closed group, for now, mainly consisting of moaners and...
Hi all.
I am collecting evidence for a report on the current 'strategy' and trust given to the competent person schemes by the Communities and Local Government Committee (CLGC).
I am not sure if you are aware, but the committee reviewed it a couple of years ago, and the conclusion from the...
I think my last post was clear enough, you're just repeating yourself.
It looks like you are going to stay up there on that horse so I won't bother wasting my time.
Through observation. Being a competent/skilled person I survey the schools when occupied and test when not occupied. I was also informed that they were there for such a purpose.
I know because I asked for the task specific risk assessment relating to the pupil's use of electrical equipment...
Hello again and thank you for anyone who has posted on the other poll so far.
This poll is really for the forum members here who were trained through training centres on a Part P training package.
I have no intention of criticising anyone who contributes to this poll, the objective here is to...
Thanks for the polls so far everyone.
@bluestar yea I am finding the JIB a little hard to support at the moment.
One issue is that they are not maintaining the grade, or checking on card holders to keep up to date..
Plus they are looking to take on licensing, but plan on complementing the...
I am trying to collect some data together to see how things have come along in the past few years.
There were meetings in 2014 with the department of local government with regards to the changes in Part P and the schemes got a bit of a wrist slap. They were given a couple of years to improve...
The socket is one of many in the school used by everybody. Some in particular, such as the picture, were in the nursery so kids from 4 years old.
When discussed with the school, the equipment plugged in was for the children to use.. they had a bubble machine and other recreational bits and...
You tell me how a 6 year old, using electrical equipment on the socket shown, with no risk assessment, no 30mA RCD, or skilled person observing who is empowered with the wisdom to keep 20 kids to work safely is a C3?
Something in the information does seem a little strange. If the supply EFLI is that much though then as stated on the Condition Report guidance for recipients:
But naturally, it is up to the skilled person to identify the inadequacy and provide accurate information for the person ordering the...
They don't code anything. They take your money.
You do the coding and if you go along with someone else's rules then they may as well be signing your reports.
I had a big argument with the Electrical Safety Council and the NICEIC regarding their C3 code for no RCD on sockets post amendment 3...
