⚡ Protect the Title "Electrician" in Scotland
🔗 Sign the petition on the link in the comments below.
Electrical safety is fundamental to protecting people, homes and businesses. Yet in Scotland there is currently no statutory regulation of electricians, and the title "electrician" is not protected in law.
This means that anyone can describe themselves as an electrician without demonstrating the qualifications, skills or experience needed to carry out electrical work safely.
As Scotland progresses towards its net zero ambitions, electrical technologies and systems will become increasingly important. It is vital that electrical work is undertaken by professionals who are properly qualified, competent and accountable.
That's why we're calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to introduce:
✅ Statutory regulation of the electrical industry
✅ Protection of the title "Electrician"
✅ Higher standards of competence and accountability
✅ Greater consumer confidence and public safety
The petition is now live, and we encourage everyone who supports electrical safety, professional standards and consumer protection to sign and share it with their networks.
Together, we can help ensure that those carrying out electrical work in Scotland have the skills, qualifications and competence required to keep people safe.
