Ok, fair cop Andy, however, how can their employers justify that they are competent to undertake electrical work, if they are not qualified electricians?quite often, they are not sparks who have done a different course. often just a random person who has done short course on a specific manufacturers stuff
because most plug into a socket and all motors etc etc are 12v.Ok, fair cop Andy, however, how can their employers justify that they are competent to undertake electrical work, if they are not qualified electricians?
Good point! Last year I went to a house, as a favour for someone, as I generally try and avoid domestic, anyway the electrics kept tripping, it turned out a lot of the place was still wired in the old VIR! They had a stairlift, fed from a fused spur on the landing, the feed to spur went into the loft in mini trunking, the pvc twin and earth was attached to the ring main via a joint box, the ring main was brittle old VIR.Ok, fair cop Andy, however, how can their employers justify that they are competent to undertake electrical work, if they are not qualified electricians?
No short course equips someone to deal with every eventuality that could be found in even just a domestic electrical installation.
However, the LAW requires that they are competent, if they don't have the underpinning knowledge and the experience how can they be competent in the eyes of the law?
