❗Electrical inspection and testing is essential for maintaining safety and meeting legal compliance in your workplace👷🏻
📜As a dutyholder, you have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment for your employees and visitors, as well as maintaining your electrical systems in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
🗣️ “As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems, shall at all times be of such construction, so as not to give rise to danger.” – Reg 4 (1) & (2) of EaWR 1989.
📚To meet these regulations, you must implement a routine inspection and testing programme for your electrical systems. The frequency depends on the type and use of your premises. Understanding how often testing is needed allows you to plan inspections in a way that aligns with your operational needs and budget, whether that involves 100%, 33%, or 20% testing each year.
Check out the table pictured below to see the frequency of testing.
✅A regular inspection and testing programme helps ensure your electrical systems remain safe, reliable, and efficient, while also providing the required documentation to demonstrate compliance in the event of an emergency or an HSE inspection. It also allows potential faults or defects to be identified and resolved before they lead to serious issues or accidents.
⚠️Safeguard your people and stay compliant with regular electrical inspection and testing ‼️
