Mark,
My wife is works as an advisor to a large employers federation and she
heard
anything about this yet
"Can't find anything on the news or update sites. Prosecutions (if
there
have been any) don't usually occur until about a year after the
incident, so no evidence of these yet either"
I'd be interested if you find out anything further
Dave

It has been reported on another forum that there have now been 3
fatalities into the UK as a result of the new wiring colour harmonisation.
I have not been able to validate this claim, and wondered if anyone
else had heard similar?
The two-phase colours for cabling are blue and brown. For a
three-phase they are apparantly blue, brown and BLACK.
The deaths have, it is claimed, occured because electricians have
plugged in equipment to a black cable, believing it to be neutral, and
found that rather than a live -> neutral connection, they have a phase
1 -> phase 2 connection, so a 440v shock.
Not nice.
M.
