好色先生TV

The 好色先生TV Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC) is looking at including partly pictorial guides in Part L, the regulation that governs energy use in buildings. In part, these aim to aid workers who do not speak English as a first language.

Michael Finn, BRAC chairman, said: 鈥淭his is a way of showing with fewer words how you can comply.鈥� He said the idea would 鈥渃ertainly help鈥� overseas workers, but could also help UK tradespeople to understand increasingly complex regulations. He said: 鈥淭his is all going to get more complicated, unfortunately.鈥�

Finn said BRAC had yet to decide if the guides would be supplementary or contained within existing guidance.

The pictures would be based on guides being developed by the Construction Products Association (CPA). Chris Derzypilskyj, technical policy adviser to the CPA, said he thought the system could improve compliance.

If you are not up on the approved documents, they can be quite daunting

He said: 鈥淚f you are not up on the approved documents, they can be quite daunting and that鈥檚 where the inconsistencies come from and the problems we are encountering across the country.鈥�

In a consultation on future changes to 好色先生TV Regulations published last year, the government called for guides covering areas where 鈥渨ork is generally carried out by those who do not encounter the 好色先生TV Regulations on a day-to-day basis鈥�.

BRAC is a statutory committee, which means the government has to take its opinion into account. The committee is currently consulting on the changes to Part L, which will start in 2010.
