The reforms are inexpensive and therefore of minimal cost, if any, to the Exchequer as the annual registration fee payable by the electrical contractors to the self-regulatory bodies will fund the process of registration. This Bill will save lives. The measures proposed can only work to improve the current situation. The proposed legislation will ensure greater public safety, greater consumer confidence in the electrical contracting industry, a harmonisation of standards among the self-regulating bodies and obligatory registration for qualified electrical contractors with a self-regulatory body.
