Should there be a law for male contractors entering female properties alone?
Vulnerable women, living alone should be protected from male contractors visiting solo.
Protecting Women
There should be a law for protecting women in their own homes. Women should feel safe when a male visits to do maintenance or inspections.
Should the male contractor do or say anything out of turn the woman would have no witnesses unless she had CCTV. Not everyone can afford surveillance equipment.
I am always apprehensive of male contractors coming into my home. Some I have known for years but that does not mean anything, anyone can lose the plot and do things they are not supposed to say or do.
As a survivor of domestic violence, I get very anxious when anyone visits especially men. I find it hard to stay calm and always feel on edge.
A Law To Protect Women In Their Homes
There should be a law where a female should be present with the accompanying male contractor (just like a female nurse accompanying a male doctor, if say for whatever reason the resident was unable to have someone as a witness when the contractor visits). This not only protects the resident but also the trader as well of false accusations.
Although I had my daughter present at the time of the incident the gas engineer said some derogatory remarks, I did not want to cause a scene but I did log it down for evidence. https://cymrumarketing.com/unprofessional-cardiff-gas-engineers-no-ppe/
I am not looking forward to my next annual gas check in April/May time, not my Electricity checks, especially my smoke alarms that do not have to be checked by an actual electrician.
Usually, laws are passed after something happens, I for one would like a law before anything does.
I should just cross each bridge as I come to it, and not worry myself silly. From my previous engagement with the gas engineer, he clearly broke the law, what’s to say he does not break it again? I always try to have someone present but when my daughter attends university it sometimes can become a problem.
