That’s why I am backing SELECT’s campaign to regulate electricians by introducing protection of title for the profession of electrician.

EuropeOn agrees that it is vital that only properly trained and qualified people design and carry out electrical works and we fully support the campaign being run by SELECT to introduce 'Protection of Title', which would ensure that anyone calling themselves an electrician in Scotland would have to hold appropriate, industry-recognised qualifications.
Recent decarbonisation and sustainability efforts have reinforced the important role properly trained and qualified electricians will play as we aim to meet our carbon reduction targets. We believe in working together with all relevant stakeholders as well as national and EU authorities to deliver on the demanding but necessary climate objectives.

Electrical safety is vitally important and consumers have a right to expect that electrical works carried out in their home are only undertaken by those with the appropriate skills and qualifications.
Therefore, I welcome and support SELECT’s campaign to regulate the industry and make it an offence to carry out electrical work in properties without holding qualifications.
This important campaign was included in Scottish Labour’s last election manifesto and I hope we can make progress on regulation in this session of parliament.

Too often, I find myself fixing electrical installation work a client has already paid for that has been installed dangerously and does not conform to any sort of regulations. This puts people in the household and other premises in potentially fatal environments with risks of electric shock and fires. The title of electrician must be protected and the industry regulated to ensure people are safe. Therefore, I support the SELECT campaign wholeheartedly.

There is hardly ever a week goes by in my working life where at some point I don't come across electrical work that is of an extremely poor standard. I have seen some truly shocking installations and feel that the problem of unskilled personnel carrying-out electrical installation work is worsening.
It is for this reason that I strongly support SELECT's campaign. I believe it is absolutely essential that electricians be given protection of title. Regulating the electrical contracting industry in Scotland would help ensure that those who carry out electrical installation work are adequately trained and qualified. This will in turn ensure that standards are raised and electrical safety improved.

Electricians carry out vital work for us all and this work must be done by properly qualified professionals. Cowboys could put lives at risk, given that there is a very clear danger that faulty electrical systems can cause house fires.
Therefore, I am going to support moves in the Scottish Parliament to regulate the profession of electrician in order to secure proper protection of the public. There is already protection for gas engineers through the well-known Gas Safe Register, formerly the Corgi scheme, so why not for electricians as well?
I am pleased that SELECT, the body representing electricians in Scotland, is pressing for this regulation and pledge my support to cross-party efforts to deliver it.
