Employers Responsibility.
To comply with the 1989
Electricity at work regulations, it is necessary to implement
a programme of Inspection and testing of all necessary portable
appliances.
The Electricity at work regulations state:
Regulation 4: "as may be necessary to prevent danger all
systems shall be maintained so as to prevent so far as reasonably
practicable such danger."
Employers also have a legal duty under the Health
and safety act 1974, to provide safe plant and equipment, and
ensure that equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in a
good state of repair and in good working order.
Failure to comply with this legislation cannot only result in Insurance
companies reducing, delaying or refusing the amount to be paid out
in the event of an accident or a fire.
It can also lead to successful prosecution in the event of an employee
/ customer been involved in an electrical accident.
We realise that in some cases Portable Appliance Testing may be
an unwanted disruption to your business. Because of this we
can operate outside of normal working hours to suit the customer.
Evening and weekend appointments carry no extra charges. |
