Guardian Electrical Compliance Announces Nationwide Electrical Safety Seminars
The Electrical Safety Seminar Series kicks off at the iconic Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire on Thursday, 20th March 2025!
Why Electrical Safety Knowledge is Critical in Today's Environment
Staying current with electrical safety requirements is no longer optional for organisations—it’s essential. With regulatory frameworks evolving rapidly, technology advancements accelerating, and the serious consequences of non-compliance (including potential prosecution, financial penalties, insurance invalidation, and most importantly, risk to life), professionals responsible for electrical safety must remain vigilant and informed.
The Health and Safety Executive continues to pursue enforcement action against organisations failing to meet their electrical safety obligations. Recent prosecutions have demonstrated that pleading ignorance offers no protection under the law. As the seminars will emphasise: “In the eyes of the HSE, you, the Dutyholder, are guilty until you can robustly prove otherwise.”
By attending these seminars, participants will gain the knowledge needed to implement robust electrical safety systems that protect both their organisation and its people, while potentially reducing unnecessary testing costs through more efficient compliance strategies.
Empowering Duty Holders with Critical Electrical Safety Knowledge
The upcoming seminars will feature industry-leading professionals delivering valuable insights on crucial topics including:
- BS7671:2018 Amendment 4 – Comprehensive overview of significant changes set to be implemented in 2026, including updates to electrical installation requirements and safety standards
