Plug socket covers


Recommended Posts

This is a topic that has been discussed several times previously on the FSF, on 30th June NHS told all health and social care providers to remove them from their settings - I have had a look at the online advice and found the following document. There is not a definitive ruling for the early years sector - but I'm removing all of ours!

 

The Myth of “Safety Socket Covers” - unnecessary and a hazard!

 

This was the alert sent out by NHS

We still use them! I've brought it up a couple of times but the response has been so emphatically no that I've left it, but, I've got the hall keys this year, so...☺

 

 

Plus, someone on fb just told me a retired electrician told her to remove just 2 weeks ago!!!

This was almost 2 years ago now, with the same link to the 'flawed' article....

 

Interesting to read again, and really we are still none the wiser, someone should just make the call for EY settings/schools as well.

 

My name is Mouse and I'm a user ...at the moment :-/
