ECS check service launched
A new system that allows clients and main contractors to verify the skills of electrical staff has been launched by the JIB.
ECS Check is an online portal that provides instant information on the ECS cardholder status of those personnel sent to work on any particular site.
Electrical contractors can also use the system to showcase their workforce during tenders or projects, highlighting the skills and qualifications of their team.
This new service, available across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, has been introduced to give clients confidence that their contracts are being carried out by fully qualified electrical personnel.
It complements the launch of the new ECS Registered Electrician status, also launched this month by the JIB, to recognise electricians who are qualified to both NVQ Level 3 and the current edition of the Wiring Regulations.
All eligible ECS cardholders are being notified of the opportunity to become an ECS Registered Electrician. Applicants must sign up to a Code of Professional Practice, which includes a commitment to Continuing Professional Development.
