Be wise to Part P protection
Part P is the only legislation designed to protect homeowners from unsafe electrical installation work. However, only 14% of the public are really aware of what Part P is, how Part P applies to the homeowner and how to check for registered electricians. For this reason, electrical training expert, Electrician Courses 4U, has introduced a brand new online guide ‘Part P of the Building Regulations Explained to the Public’ which is free to view and download via its dedicated website.
EC4U’s Part P of the Building Regulations Explained to the Public provides information and advice for homeowners on the key aspects of Part P and how to ensure Part P compliance. The guide is designed to protect the health and safety of occupants and ensure they comply with their home insurance policy.
Part P was introduced to UK Building Regulations in 2005. Its aim is to guard against electrical disasters in the home, elevate the quality and safety of electrical work and ensure that registered electricians are working to a safe standard with all electrical installations meet the UK national standard, BS 7671 (17thedition Wiring Regulations).
”We believe the government, scheme providers and training centres, such as ourselves, should have a duty of care to raise awareness on the importance of Part P to the public and electricians,” comments Nigel Best, Managing Director EC4U. “In turn, it educates the public and drives down the percentage of unregistered electricians, as well as bringing up the overall quality of electrical work and reduces the number of injuries and fatalities from faulty electrics. That is in everyone’s best interests.”
More information on EC4U and the Part P of the Building Regulations Explained to the Public guide is available online.
