Got this in an NICEIC email today:
NICEIC and ECA have welcomed the Communities and Local Government Select Committee report into Building Regulations.
After hearing evidence from the electrical contracting industry, the Committee says it cannot support deregulation of the building regulations if electrical safety is compromised.
A recent report from the cross party Select Committee, said it had clear evidence to show that deaths and injuries due to electrical faults have decreased since the introduction of the regulations.
We welcome the latest comments and hope the Government takes on board the views of the Committee when it completes its consultation into proposals surrounding the building regulations.
The Committee will now be recommending that all electrical equipment sold in DIY stores carries a health warning that it is illegal for an unregistered person to carry out most electrical works in the home.
In February this year NICEIC CEO, Emma Clancy and ECA CEO, Steve Bratt were among a panel of leading electrical contracting industry figures called in front of the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG) Select Committee to discuss the case for retaining electrical safety as part of the building regulations.
Anybody else seeing pigs flying past their windows??
