UK wiring regulations require earth (ground) wires to be sheathed in
green and yellow sleeving where it is exposed.

I have often been puzzled by this requirement. What is the reason - just
identification of the earth wire, or something else?

It's just belt and braces - slightly less chance of a short if wires get
trapped by careless assembly.

It's also been changed twice!

Originally, earth wires were bare, then the requirement to cover them
with green sleeving was brought in.

Finally, the sleeving was changed from green to green/yellow ..
