The Health & Safety Welfare at Work Act 2005 places a legal responsibility on the employer to provide:

1. A safe place of work.
2. Safe plant and equipment.
3. Adequate maintenance of equipment.

The 2007 General Application Regulations outline nine major topics, one being electricity; and list obligations of the employer, including:

• Provision of effective means in relation to every electrical circuit to prevent danger arising from leakage current to earth.
• A test of an existing installation shall be made in an approved manner by a competent person and details of tests recorded.
• All electrical equipment and electrical installations should at all times be constructed, installed, maintained, protected and used so as to prevent danger.

​
​Apart from it being a statutory regulation it is also common sense to maintain all electrical equipment in a safe manner. Therefore, periodic inspection and testing is an essential part of safe procedures.

What can ETS do for you?

• Subject the installation to a thorough inspection and test, incorporating all distribution boards, lighting, socket and fixed points to ensure compliance with ETCI rules.
• Verify all relevant earthing and bonding conductors.
• Compile a comprehensive report detailing all faults and remedial actions necessary.
• Provide accurate test record sheets of requisite tests.
• It’s also prudent to subject all portable appliances to a test for compliance with Health and Safety Regs.
