Regular electrical safety checks included in new bill for Northern Ireland
In March the Northern Ireland Assembly passed the Private Tenancies Bill. The Bill includes a requirement to introduce regular electrical safety checks for private tenants in NI. Electrical Safety First is campaigning for all tenants, regardless of tenure, to be afforded the same safety standards across the UK. Karter Kane, Policy and Public Affairs Advisor for NI with Electrical Safety First commented: “Electrical Safety First has long campaigned for regular electrical checks in Northern Ireland’s private rented sector (PRS), so we were delighted that they have been included in the Private Tenancies Bill. “As the Minister (Deirdre Hargey) herself has noted, electrical checks are a long- overdue safety fundamental. However,
we believe the Bill can be made stronger and more effective by stipulating that those safety checks of electrical installations are undertaken regularly – we believe it should be every five years.” She added: “We’re delighted to see the Northern Ireland Assembly pass the Private Tenancies Bill (15 March). The bill includes a requirement to introduce regular electrical safety checks for private tenants in Northern Ireland. “We’re campaigning for all tenants – regardless of tenure – to be afforded the same safety standards
across the UK. And this commitment is one step closer to achieving that goal.”
