  
1. Editorial2004 has commenced with a further agreement having been negotiated with industry partners. After extensive consultation, agreement has been reached on a new approach for the electrical industry in relation to Site Safe and Board requirements. Details of the agreement are in this issue of ELECTRON. I would like to acknowledge the support I received during this project from Iris Clanachan and Pauline Edwards from Site Safe and thank Peter Rushworth from the Electrical Training Company for all his time and effort. I would also like to thank Ian Butturini and Mike Bakker for their much-valued support. The Electricity Regulations 1997 were amended on 9 January 2004 and further details are in this issue of ELECTRON. A circular on the amendments also accompanies ELECTRON. The first full round under the new examination processes has been completed with over 1,400 candidates attempting Board examinations during November 2003. With the exception of answer scripts where irregularities had been identified by markers all results left the Board's offices by 8 January 2004. A full report on the examination will be available by the end of January 2004. This issue of ELECTRON contains details on EnergySafe
programme and you should expect a Bill on the programme to be considered by Parliament this year. John Sickels
