Electrical Safety First has launched a brand new website design, creating a one-stop shop for electrical safety information, advice and resources.
The new platform brings together trusted electrical safety information, practical tools, expert guidance and industry resources in a single destination for consumers, electricians and stakeholders across the sector.
Among the new features is an upgraded Find an Electrician Tool, which incorporates live data feeds from five recognised electrical industry certification bodies, including the NICEIC, MCS, Flexi-Orb, SELECT and Blue Flame Certification, helping consumers find a local registered, competent electricians with confidence.
The site also introduces an interactive Units Calculator, enabling users to better understand electrical consumption and energy use through a simple, easy-to-use tool.
For professionals, a new Resources for Electricians section provides an extensive library of free technical guidance and training materials developed in collaboration with more than 15 leading industry organisations.
The resource hub includes Best Practice Guides covering a wide range of electrical installation topics, guidance produced by the Wiring Regulations Advisory Group, the Amendment 4 Pocket Guide access to the comprehensive Apprentice Channel of Excellence platform of training videos.
The website has also been designed with accessibility at its heart. An integrated accessibility toolbar enables users to customise their browsing experience, whilst a translation tool helps make vital electrical safety information available to a wider audience.
The new website was shaped by two rounds of user testing involving 28 participants, including members of the public, electricians and accessibility testers. Feedback helped inform the site’s structure, design, navigation and content, ensuring vital electrical safety information and resources are easy to find, understand and access for all users.
Rory Carroll, communications director at Electrical Safety First, said: “The new website represents a significant step forward in our mission to improve electrical safety across the UK.
“Whether you’re a consumer looking for trusted safety advice, a landlord seeking guidance on your responsibilities, or an electrician searching for technical resources and best practice guidance, the new platform provides easy access to the information and tools you need.
“By bringing together expert advice, practical resources and industry-leading guidance in one place, this website is the UK’s go-to destination for electrical safety information.”
