I know there been some debate around this but wanted to gauge opinions. I'm employed full time by a printing company. Whilst carrying out my day to day duties I received and e-mail from our safety manager which contained a document that had been issued by our head of safety. Among other things it contained a stipulation for electrical contractors. Basically saying we had to check whether they were registered with
[SIZE=9pt]UK - New Electrical Safety Register for Electricians in UK[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]http://www.electricalsafetyregister.com/[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] [/SIZE]
Now i read this and mentioned to the safety manager that I disagreed with this as that register is just a creation of the ESC and ECA (effectively the NIC and elecsa). So people on the other made up register would be disregarded. I said that if they wished to go down that sort of root then they should be asking for contractors to be either members of an approved scheme or just on the competent person register.
What do others think?
Cheers
