There have been some shortcomings with the current system, and RECI and others have been endeavouring to raise those issues in recent years. In particular, there are concerns that the current system of regulation and supervision is voluntary and does not place enough of an onus on contractors or electricians to maintain high standards of public safety, adequate insurance and proper training. There is also a difficulty in enforcing the safety standards when electrical contractors or electricians registered with one regulatory body leave it and go to another such body before a disciplinary process against them has been concluded. That undermines the very essence of a regulatory regime for the electrical contracting sector. The Bill addresses that issue.
