Domestic Services
Government figures estimate that there are
around 10 fatal and 2,000 non-fatal electric shock accidents and 12,500 electrical
fires in domestic homes across the UK each year. Many incidents are caused by
faulty appliances or the electrical installation itself.
A properly installed and well-maintained electrical installation could save lives.
Cables, switches, socket-outlets and other equipment deteriorate with prolonged use and age, so they all need to be regularly checked and the necessary replacements or repairs made in good time.
To avoid the dangers that electricity can
create to you and others, it is essential that electrical work is carried out
only by qualified people with the correct knowledge, skill and experience in
the type of electrical work to be undertaken.
It is relatively easy to make an electrical circuit work.
However . . .
It is far more challenging to make the circuit work safely!
In March 2006 the Electrical Safety Council published the results of their National Consumer Survey and found that:
- 42% of consumers surveyed stated they had never had their electrics checked
- 32% of consumers surveyed who do DIY stated they had experienced one or more electric shocks while carrying out DIY
- 59% of people do not use qualified electricians when carrying out electrical work
- 35% of consumers surveyed said their electrics are over 15 years old and a further 21% stated they had no idea how old their installations were
- 48% of those surveyed did not know that their electrics should be checked at least every 10 years
