In addition, electricity is now the major cause of accidental domestic fires in UK homes with over 21,000 in 2007. In that same year there were 49 deaths and 3,477 injuries.The charity, through its activities and partnerships, aims to ensure that consumers’ needs are recognised and that issues of electrical safety are given the appropriate priority.

Every year Electrical Safety First awards funding to a range of organisations, from both the Electrical Fire Safety Fund and the Home Improvement Grant Scheme.The Electrical Fire Safety Fund aims to support the delivery of project-based fire prevention initiatives at local community level that aim to effectively tackle the causes of electrical-related fires, and those that seek to increase public awareness.During this process Electrical Safety First works closely with the Fire Service, CFOA[7] and Local Authorities around the UK.
Joint venture[edit]
In November 2012 Electrical Safety First joined up with the Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA) to launch the Electrical Safety Register - a joint venture between the two organisations. The register features both domestic and commercial contractors, and brings together the NICEIC, and ECA certification schemes.
Electrical Safety First and ECA together own Certsure LLP, which trades using the NICEIC and ELECSA certification brands.
Rebrand[edit]
In late 2013 the Electrical Safety Council announced that it is undergoing a rebranding, and that as of 28 March 2014 it would become Electrical Safety First. [8]The rebrand was launched alongside a YouTube video which brought popular 70s/ 80s animation Charley Says back to life, with the help of David Walliams who provided the voiceovers.
