Electricity In Your Home

Not more legislation effecting my own home we can hear you saying.  Yes, the regulations which are designed to keep individuals safe in their home when using electricity has been put in place to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and fires caused by faulty electrical installations. The regulations are in place to make it harder for cowboy builders, un-registered electricians and amateur DIY individuals leaving electrical installations in an unsafe condition.

 

Injuries & Accidents In The Home

The UK has a fairly good record record of electrical safety. However, there are over 30 deaths and close to 4,000 injuries from electrical accidents in homes across the UK each year. Although many accidents are caused by faulty appliances than the electrical installation itself a properly installed and well maintained installation could save lives.
