Exclusive run through of amendment 4 to BS 7671 of the wiring regulations with Richard Harvey from Electric Safety First and Craig Buist from Burgess Electrical Services. We rarely get an exclusive run at anything on the only podcast dedicated to apprentices and trainees but the stars aligned today for us! It was supposed to be purely earthing and bonding but we thought this made more sense! We also ran through the now uncool amendment 3 of BS 7671! We did include a run through of earthing systems right at the end!

Covering the safe isolation super rod survey, EICR coding of unidirectional devices on bidirectional circuits, is there a skills shortage? Plus we catch up with what Richard, Craig and myself have been doing. We also discus Craigs idea to support lecturers directly around the UK (love this btw). Richard shares an exciting learning lounge and ESF link up and we answer a listeners question on the 2396 course. Super Rod survey is here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G6CD8WJ

We take a look at what Earthing and Bonding actually is and set out on a series to cover this and more! Also as its current we discuss the BS 7671 AMD3 Please get your comments in here https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2024-01247#/section IET webinar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WSqH9qatkI&pp=ygUDaWV0 CEF Tech talks AMD 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7eWUJoe5mI
