"All electrical contractors, electricians, electrical engineers and installation designers have a duty of care to abide by the new wiring rules. It's not just any set of standards, the Wiring Rules go hand in hand with a responsibility to workplace, health and safety requirements. Even if you're a sparky or a subby working on a residential site, or someone that's responsible for large-scale electrical installations, you've got to know it! Get yourself and your employees compliant.”
