Welcome to Electrical-Safe

Protecting Families • Supporting Electricians • Strengthening Public Safety

Electricity is something we all rely on every day — yet it is silent, invisible, and gives no warning when something is wrong. Most people are surprised to learn that England and Wales do not have a legal register for electricians, meaning anyone can claim to be an electrician, even without training.

“An electrical-safe petition for an HSE-owned Electrical Safe Register, improving safety, enforcement and public protection across England and Wales. 

In the 1990s, the government recognised the danger of unqualified gas work and introduced a legal gas register (now known as Gas Safe).
But no equivalent legal protection exists for electrical work — even though electrical faults continue to cause thousands of fires, injuries, and avoidable tragedies every year.

Our petition calls for a modern, fair, not-for-profit registration system, overseen by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), to protect both the public and the electrical profession.

Why This Matters to You

Safer Homes – A legal register ensures only properly competent, qualified people carry out electrical work.

Clear, Simple Identification – Just like checking a Gas Safe ID card, families can instantly verify a registered electrician.

Fairness for Responsible Professionals – Most electricians work to high standards. This scheme ensures they are recognised and trusted.

Confidence When Buying or Renting – Tenants, landlords, and homeowners can be reassured that electrical work is safe and compliant.

Why We Need Change

Since Part P became law in 2005, safety was expected to improve — but enforcement has been limited. Local Authorities rarely prosecute, so unsafe work often goes unchecked.

A statutory register would:

Strengthen safety

Improve transparency

Give people confidence in the electrical work done in their homes
