The legislation as it stands only requires landlords to provide a duty of care.
One way to prove the landlord has done this is with a PIR.
However since every item in the brb can be deviated from it is no wonder there is confusion.
If it was law, like some gas regulations maybe electricity would be taken more seriously.
Remember electricity does not kill, does not set fires, or causes damage, its safe.
Well thats what we are led to believe, and non of your scheme providers including mine will ever push for legislation.
LONG LIVE THE COWBOY he does it cheap he does it outside the regulations and providing its not dangerous, is never prosecuted, thus saving himself about a grand a year.
Nothing wrong in sticking a 0.05 3 core flex on a 45amp type c breaker, or wiring a full legion club in twin flex for emergency lights.
Hell fire why is there a dedicated electrical profession?
This rant could go on but I am rather upset that people are allowed to get away with shocking installations, and the only way they are found out is when some poor sod dies.
The ruling should be every 12 months just like the gas.
Unfortunately this will never happen,as all electrical indulged authorities will never push for any such legislation, the government do it by risk assesment and allow the thousands of electrical shocks and hundreds of deaths plus the numerous fires as acceptable collateral damage, they just make sure we all pay our anual fees, for our anual sheep dip.
Just a footnote to all those who wonder why gas is so better regulated.
Its because the effects of a gas explosion is visible, and dramatic.
Electricity is silent (but deadly) never the less.
