One of my service engineers is notorious for scrounging cups of tea, so I made a sign up to hang round his neck. It said "Dont feed the animal"

what about when you wernt with him? Who fed you then?

Lol

I thought they where going towards needing qualifications to install intruder alarms, to stop anyone doing it? but a lot of people that been in the industry a long time automatically get "granddad rights" ?

 

I got NVQ level 3 in both intruder hold up alarms and fire detection, seems almost a waste if all you have to do is train with a company for a few years to get granddad rights !

I understand there are moves a foot to get to that holy grail but without grandfather rights. Adrian knows the details but will be great if we adopt it as I understand it is a eu directive.

It'll never happen imo, too far down the line.

We've made the threat before (hence why I did mine 10 years ago) but Adrian seemed to have confidence?

any change will be a **** up which will cost us money...

it makes sense you have 17th edition regs for sparks ( which I know is more in depth to H&S) but still, intruder is still a peace of mind that needs to be installed to right grading and class?

 

We all can know we could wire T&E but we don't cause its not allowed ( Don't want to get onto the 4mm Cubit )

 

my understanding is insurance wise has to be a registered company.. should employees be qualified too ?

As you point out, it is the company that holds the approval rather than the guys out doing the job.

scenario

 

so a butcher looking for a new carrer that installed his own house alarm and a friends, now joins a alarm company ( blagged his way in )  is out installing and service alarm systems, does he know what hes doing ?

 

simple things like a grade 3 is he putting the screw for the back tamper or just going top and bottom fixings ?!?
