National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting

The NICEIC maintains a roll of approved contractors that have proved to comply with BS 7671: Requirements for Electrical Installations. The roll is continually updated on their website. Every year each company on the roll are visited and assessed by NICEIC inspecting engineers. They not only assess the technical capability of a company, but also visit recent electrical installations completed to inspect samples of their work and make sure they comply with BS 7671. The NICEIC is a subsidiary of the Electrical Safety Council. They act as an independent voluntary regulatory body for electrical installation safety matters throughout the UK.

JGT Electrical has been accredited by the NICEIC since 1995.

A Health & Safety accreditation scheme for contractors

SAFEcontractor is operated by international safety, health and environmental risk management specialist, the National Britannia Group. The system is applicable to most sectors although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, property, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors. Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process, which examines heath and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users. SAFEcontractor makes it simpler for clients looking for contractors, as they have already demonstrated that they have health & safety policies and procedures in place. Clients recognise the scheme and accept the SAFEcontractor certificate as confirmation of competency. SAFEcontractor is effectively the clients approved contractor list.
