Hi.

Depends on who is noted as the Principal Duty Holder/Qualified Supervisor with the scheme provider.

Or are you saying that the company is not a member of a scheme, NIC, Elecsa, NAPIT etc???

 

[gp66]

no they are not a member of any scheme .

i would suggest your boss will take the wrap! but you may get a knucke dusting if it comes to it!!

but i would probbaly stop talking about it! get registered and hope nothing comes from it!! consider it a lesson in life!

ok thanks. guess i better look for another job lol

Have building control just found out about this or do they not know???

You could be in a spot of bother and I would wager that it will be your swede on the block as you are the spark who should really have known that if the company was not a member of a Part P scheme you should have been notifying building control BEFORE you started any work.

On the other hand SOME LABC's will be happy to accept your certs if you show them your quals 2391 included.

As Steve said, get registered with a scheme provider ASAP and hope nothing comes of it.
