Toughen up on 'incompetent' electricians, say MPs

[JK-Electrical]

The committee recommended that, within five years, no-one should be allowed to carry out the electrical work covered by building regulations without an NVQ Level III or equivalent qualification and "a significant period of supervised on-the-job training".

teaches you how to do things

In the beginning of the document it does say this course is for people who have worked on electrotechnical installations "...in excess of 24 months..." Hence they will have had direct experience of installation teaching/practice. It also requires a portfolio of actual physical installations and there are practical fault finding tests on rigs.

getting priorities straight

A hate crime! does he not know the wolf whistle is an indication of a love crime contemplated?

A hate crime! does she not know the wolf whistle is an indication of a love crime contemplated?

Did you just assume that womans gender???

Gone are the days when I used to get wolf whistled at...

I suppose in someways you could say this about those who carry the NVQ too in a certain way.

Someone who’s spent the last few yr knocking out houses would probably to a degree be more competent then someone who’s worked on 3 phase and industrial for the same amount of time.

Everyone is going to be different or competent in their own way.

I'll agree, to a degree, believe it or not.......everyone is different........but not bleedin' competent.

You've already forgotten me

It was your mankini that put me off mate.....

Wolf whistling a hate crime huh ?
Just another underhanded dishonest lever intended to emasculate the male species. Typical lefty trying to drive it through too

 

[Spoon]

I wonder if it will work the other way round? If a woman wolf whistles at me can I get her arrested???
Granted, she will already be in trouble for breaking out of the loony bin and losing her glasses.... but you get my point....

Don't get me started on all the sexual harassment BS that 'feminists' are spouting.... or the lack of women in STEM subjects... or feminists in general!

If they were adult enough to understand what they are doing and the effect it's having on the workplace, they would realise that their chances of being hired in male dominated professions are getting less and less by the day. No man in his right mind would hire a woman these days as there are far too many complaints being made about minor things that all get lumped into 'sexual harassment'. Who's going to take the risk?

Christ, the current climate is even making me wonder whether it would be a sensible move to take on a girl. If I had a mixed staff, I'd be forever deciding whether or not to take the risk and send a mixed team to a job. Would be a bloody nightmare!

Women! Much prefer working with blokes.

[stevethesparks]

Thanks sparky chick for the vote of confidence . I really don't want to come across as someone that doesn't support women because I have 2 daughters but some woman's agendas are really transparent

I think you already know the answer to that one.. unlikely because of your male privilege and lets not forget the oppressive misogynistic patriarchy filled with sexual micro-aggressions!

ARGH!!!!!!!
