Almost 100 delegates attended an important seminar organized by Wessex Electricals during electrical fire safety month. The event at AFC Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium heard from Tim Bollard of NICIEC and ELECSA, the certification body for electricians. He spoke about the new wiring regulations, which come into effect on January 1, 2019 and are an important subject in the industry. Stuart Fisher, managing director of the long-standing Dorset business that is based in Shaftesbury and is part of the family-owned Wessex Group, opened proceedings. He welcomed delegates from a number of businesses, local authorities and health services. Alert Interested Parties Stuart said afterwards: “Though we are based in Shaftesbury where we were founded more than 50 years ago we work right across the south. Bournemouth’s Vitality stadium was a great venue and geographically convenient for our delegates of whom we had a great number, which reflects the general interest in the subject.” “While the wiring regulations is perhaps of little interest to most people it is hugely important in keeping them safe. The seminar was designed to alert interested parties to the changes and explain what they mean in practical terms. It is one of those subjects that effects everyone although most are not aware of it. Safety in our industry is obviously of the utmost importance and it was reassuring to see so many professionals attend the seminar.”
