The Toolbox Talks Tour 2017 is electrifying!

Once again, it is expected that the free events run by SELECT, the campaigning trade body for the electrical sector, will attract audiences of directors and managers, or company owners, many of whom will also bring employees and apprentices.

Alan Wilson, SELECT’s Head of Membership and Communications, said: "SELECT is once again gearing up to take to the high roads and low roads of Scotland to deliver advice and guidance on a range of subjects.

"We were delighted to receive such a positive response last year and our technical team, along with industry partners including the SJIB, SECTT and many more, have been hard at work putting together presentations that focus on relevant technical topics. 

"The technical talks will, among other things, cover likely changes which will arise from the 18^th edition of the Wiring Regulations, due to be introduced in 2018."

Toolbox Talks will kick off this year at the Walled Garden in Edinburgh on 9^th May.

Dave Forrester, SELECT's Head of Technical Services, said: "As in every modern professional or technical sector, continuing professional development is of the utmost importance. The electrical industry prides itself on keeping up-to-date with events and, indeed, anticipating them.  

"The Toolbox Talks events are structured to provide detailed technical information and guidance in bite sized portions which we hope our members will find useful."

SELECT members have a collective turnover of more than £1bn and provide employment for more than 15,000 people. Its member company’s account for over 90% of all electrical installation work carried out in Scotland.
