Toddler killed by cut off plug
Sad. And sad too that NICEIC etc will no doubt use this[1] in their
further lobbying of DCLG to argue the Building Regulations should require any and all electrical work in the home to be carried out by a member of a competent person scheme. Which leads to my real reason for waving: does anyone know if DCLG are doing anything following "Future changes to the Building Regulations - next steps" in December 2010 to get further views from domestic consumers (including DIY-ers) in addition to the usual suspects (Electrical Safety Council, NICEIC, NAPIT, CBI, BCC etc)? (I have yet to find an avenue similar to the Your Freedom or Cut Red Tape websites. So it seems NICEIT etc have a free run to pour poison into DCLG ears.) [1] I know this death was in Scotland but that'll not stop them -- Robin PM may be sent to rbw0{at}hotmail{dot}com |

An RCD would have saved the child. How would an RCD save the child if held onto line and neutral as was suggested? Robert |
