Every electrician whether they work at a company or self employed who undertake work in or around your home or business property in Scotland should have a valid SJIB ECS grade card.

If they don't have a valid grade card then there is a very high risk they are not qualified to current electrical regulations or health and safety awareness.

Every proper electrician will carry their current valid grade card with them to every job so make sure you ask to see it before they carry out work.

Don't Risk It. #ElectricityCanKill

Smoke Detector Research

24/2/2017

In the news this week was an article on the effectiveness of existing domestic smoke alarms to wake up children and that further in-depth research was about to start.

Initial studies indicated that a large percentage of children slept through the noise of the existing beeping sounding alarms but children were more likely to wake up with a lower pitch sound alongside a woman's voice.

Our company installs and tests thousands of smoke and heat alarms each year so this story grabbed my attention and I knew I would be curious to eventually find out the results of this further research and after dialogue it looks like we will be involved in the new research to find out what type of and what level of sounds wake up children more effectively.

On the streets of Scotland this coming week will be our new van branded with our electrical services.

This vehicle is the latest of our fleet to be changed to white with our new branding.

The first journey will take the van to a 3 day visit to Isle of Bute.

Look out also for our security system branded vehicles.

One year on from our successful assessment to become an approved member of security system accreditation company NSI, I am delighted that we have today passed our annual assessment.

Accreditation is important to us and along with our membership of SELECT, Which Trusted Traders, Scottish Building Standards and Buy With Confidence, our NSI membership in 2016 was one of the top highlights of the companies 20 years.

We value the feedback we receive from these technical and office audits as it helps us improve the services that we provide to our customers.

Thank you to all our team who have put in the hard work in gaining approval from all these highly respected organisations.

I'm delighted that we have won two contracts over the past week that will have our electricians travelling to all corners of Scotland over the next few months carrying out electrical testing work.

Our work includes fixed wiring, emergency light and fire detection testing and we may be able to get some more cracking scenic photos on our travels.

Invest in an Apprenticeship

Like Charlie Mullins the successful plumber from Pimlico, London I believe the credit and value of apprenticeships is not promoted enough within schools and career advice.

University is not for everyone whether that be for a personal or exam result reasons but we need to move away from the Modern Apprenticeship option being seen as a second rate lesser option.

Especially within trade apprenticeships - electrical, plumbing, joinery, if you put the effort into not only your initial apprenticeship but also your continual ongoing learning thereafter, your trade apprenticeship will really give you excellent value for the rest of your working life.

It's good to see from the article below that the problem with the promotion of apprenticeships is now an issue and hopefully we can start educating the school system and personnel within that there is much more to a successful working life other than a University education.
