A brand-new major event for the electrical industry will focus on skills, safety, and solutions for the UK’s evolving electrical installations.
As the UK heads towards a low-carbon future with increased electrification of its built environment, this must be delivered safely and professionally.
Given the serious consequences of not having enough skilled, qualified and competent workers to deal with an increasingly electric future, there is an urgent need to attract new talent to the industry, as well as bridge a growing skills gap in the electrotechnical workforce.
This topic will be just one of several key issues under discussion at the Electrical Installation Seminar on Tuesday 23 April, hosted by Electrical Safety First.
With a theme of Switch on to the big issues, the seminar will also explore making people’s homes safer, putting the spotlight on the quality and consistency of EICRs (electrical inspection condition reporting).
A rapid-fire session will feature presentations on emerging technologies and trends such as low carbon technologies (LCT) and prosumers electrical installation (PEI), and the importance of understanding safety considerations.
Luke Osborne, deputy technical director of Electrical Safety First, said: “It is exciting and timely for the charity to be hosting this industry event and highlighting key aspects required to move the UK safely towards its net zero carbon goals.”
Held at IET London on Savoy Place, the free half-day event brings together a range of industry actors including manufacturers, wholesalers, awarding bodies, electrical contractors, government representatives, insurers, housing associations, trade associations, certification bodies, and fire and rescue services.
