 Re: Competent Person Scheme
I think that we all know people who do it......I caught my mother the other day wiring in an extra socket.....cos "she's always done it". I explained the law, and she just chuckled at me......(shes 70).....
Its ingrained in society and people will always cut corners if they can. Shame the government make it so difficult to keep yourself as a tradesman on the right side of the law....I agree totally that the industry needs legislation and regulation, but a tradesmans a tradesmans a tradesman, irrespective of being in a recognised institution.....maybe local government need to do their own assessment of "competency" and then let you get on with your job.....
