🤔💭So, what are these panel risk assessments people keep talking about?
👍🏻For many years, there has been uncertainty between BS 7671 and other British safety standards. Without proper documentation when panels are installed, modified, or replaced, duty holders risk non-compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EaWR).
😃This is exactly where a Panel Risk Assessment comes in!
Panel Risk Assessments also:
✅Enable duty holders to ensure workplaces remain safe and compliant with the requirements of EaWR Regulations 4(1) and 2.
✅Provide a straightforward and effective method for identifying electrical hazards in accordance with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
✅Serve as an effective audit of existing permit-to-work and authorisation-to-work systems.
⛔Even with a full inspection and testing programme being undertaken, the scope of an EICR does not fully cross over to control equipment as per BS7671⛔
