Electrical faults are a leading cause of fires within commercial premises in the UK. Health and safety legislation requires all business and organisations to ensure there electrical items are safe and this to be checked periodically.
Our qualified electricians carry out both PAT testing for electrical items and also conduct EIC inspections of premises electrical infrastructures.
PAT Testing
The current law requires that all employers maintain portable appliances and ensure they operate safely. This can be carried out and evidenced by using our PAT testing services. One of our qualified and equipped electricians will visit your premises to inspect, test, label and certificate your equipment.
Faulty or unsafe electrical equipment can cause injury, death or may cause a fire. By using a competent contractor like ourselves we can detect and resolve many issues.
PAT testing also ensures companies conform to the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974, Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989, Provision and Use of Work Equipment regulations of 1998 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations of 1999.
Electrical Installations Conditions Report
All electrical installations can deteriorate with age and use, this could result in electrocution and/or fire. Therefore installations be inspected and tested regularly to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued use. Such safety checks are commonly referred to as 'periodic inspection and testing'
A periodic inspection checks the condition of an existing electrical installation against British Standards BS 7671, the UK Standard for the safety of electrical installations.
A periodic inspection should:
-
Discover if electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded
-
Identify potential electrical shock risks and fire hazards
-
Find any defective electrical work
-
Highlight any lack of earthing or bonding
For commercial premises it is recommended that an Electrical Installations Conditions inspection is carried out atleast every 5 years.
For homes of multi occupancy (HMO’s) The Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006 and the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (Wales) Regulations 2006 require that every electrical installation in an HMO is inspected and tested at least every five years by a suitably qualified contractor like ourselves, who can provide a certificate giving the results of the inspection.
