Its as it ever was, Andy

Musgrave Heaphy was an adviser to the Fire office of phoenix insurance (who had established the forerunner of the London fire brigade). He published a report....

"A report to the Phoenix Fire Office upon the various systems of electric lighting and the dangers attending them. Also a suggested table requirements when the light is used in very hazardous areas"

The report suggested 14 rules, which then became the first edition.

It goes back further than you thought.....Trumpton have been making the rules since the start!

I did a periodic (it was a while ago) on a house owned by the local authority in the grounds of a fire station, which they let out to those in the service who needed to live in close proximetry to the station. I found quite a few poor DIY works. One of them was spot lights installed light against the joist, which had started to char.... you'd think, they of all folk would know better!
