😁Happy Friday all! You know what time it is…
👀It’s Friday’s Find! Feast your eyes on this week’s discovery, which was found by Guardian inspector, Sam Bray, during a recent site inspection at a client’s site in London.
🔎As can be seen via the below picture, this panel has been poorly maintained. Upon a closer inspection, live ends and loose cables can be seen, as well as a high volume of dust, which may be a result of this specific client’s nature of work.
😓Sadly, as control panels are often left out of the scope of a standard EICR, these hidden and unreported issues are often missed and, in this case, have only just been spotted.
Thankfully, Guardian’s Panel Risk Assessments, highlight the importance of a thorough inspection to ensure the safety on skilled persons needing to conduct maintenance inside these panels.
📜 This is in breach of Regulation 416.1 of the BS7671 – Condition of insulation of live parts…
Can you name any other regulations breached?
