ABSTRACT

It is interesting to note that, whilst the Wiring Regulations are not statutory, they may be used to claim compliance with Statutory Electricity at Work Regulations, and

Health and Safety at Work Act. In fact, the Health and Safety Executive produces guidance notes for installations in such places as schools and construction sites. The contents of these documents reinforce and extend the requirements of the IEE Regulations. Extracts from the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at Work Regulations are reproduced below.
