Feedback helped inform the site’s structure, design, navigation and content, ensuring vital electrical safety information and resources are easy to find, understand and access for all users.
Rory Carroll, communications director at Electrical Safety First, said: “The new website represents a significant step forward in our mission to improve electrical safety across the UK.
