What social landlords need to know – and do – on electrical safety

There is a growing need for social landlords to consider the issue of electrical safety. New regulations have introduced additional obligations, with electrical installation inspections required every five years alongside regular PAT testing. In addition, the drive to green energy is making homes ever-more dependent on electricity, with the potential risk of home electrical systems becoming strained.

This Inside Housing CPD-certified webinar, run in association with Sureserve, will consider what social landlords need to know on electrical safety, and the actions they might need to take. Luke Osborne, technical director at the charity Electrical Safety First, will offer an overview of current and developing issues, and insight into how social landlords can react.

By the end of this webinar, those attending will be able to:

• Describe the new electrical safety regulations, how they apply to social landlords, and the timeline for action and compliance
• Explain why the dependence on electricity is growing, and what it might mean for home electrical systems and safety
• Detail some actions that social landlords might take to ensure compliance with the updated regulation
• Describe how their organisation and others in the sector might most effectively plan for compliance
• Name factors that need to be considering in building capacity for compliance with the new regulations
• Explain how social landlords might best liaise with residents on the issue of electrical safety

This event is CPD certified.
