On Site Guide
The IET ‘On Site Guide’ (OSG) is an extremely important publication and a very useful one. It has been well thought out in order to contain many important points in order to assist the electrician relating to the design, selection, erection and testing of smaller electrical installations such as domestic premises, shops and offices.
During this course you will be directed relevant to sections of the On Site Guide. This book is an excellent addition to the electrician’s toolbox and includes the more common regulations and tables needed in every day electrical work.
The descriptions are illustrated in places and the wording is straightforward and easier to understand than some explanations within BS 7671 itself. Both BS 7671 and the OSG can be taken into the exam. You will see there is an additional section in this course dedicated to additional information within the OSG.
