??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⛔
