"Dont Take The P "campaign video

[Mark Elvin]

And how can they prove if an installation was carried out in 1994 or 1995???

Sounds like a lot of part P relies on the consumer...

1. Knowing about Part P in the first place.

2. Bothering to comply with it.

IIRC they are the same figures used to justify Part P

Well after 5 years of Part P we should be starting to see some reduction in injury if the arguments for it's introduction hold value. If the figures are unchanged, it kind of destroys the argument. Of course, maybe NICEIC just decided to reuse the old data, rather than be accurate...

Does anybody know what the real data is? Injuries should decrease with the increasing use of RCDs. No doubt it be politically expedient to attribute this to the "success" of Part P.

Even if the government admits that the new law has not achieved the results they claimed it would, they will then adopt the standard response to failed regulations:

"The idea is good, but clearly the law did not go far enough. We need further legislation."

And then when that legislation fails to do anything, they'll say the same thing again. And again........

Wake up everybody! Most of the new laws we get nowadays have nothing to do with justice, improving safety, or anything else like that. They are just excuses to take more of our money and control us.

That's impossible.

The real figures for injuries associated with faults in fixed wiring, and the reductions predicted, are all so small that the only statistically significant change that could be detected would be a massive increase.

Of course, maybe NICEIC just decided to reuse the old data, rather than be accurate...

Even the old data wasn't accurate.

Does anybody know what the real data is?

These were the figures used in the Regulatory Impact Analysis to justify Part P. The first table is the actual statistics, the second is what they reckoned Part P would save:
