The potential dangers to premises, employees and contractors from faulty electrical installations include fire and electrical shock.

 

It is a fact that electrical installations deteriorate over time and poorly conducted repairs, additions and 'improvements' can also seriously compromise their safety.

 

Legislation requires all electrical systems to be maintained at all times so as to prevent danger. Periodic inspection and testing examines the extent to which an installation conforms to BS7671 and identifies improvements required.  The legal requirements in the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 states that:

 

All systems shall at all times be of such construction as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable

 

All systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is

reasonably practicable, such

 

Every work activity shall be carried out in such a manner as

not to give rise, so far as is reasonably practicable

 

Any equipment provided under these Regulations for the

purpose of protecting persons at work on or near electrical

equipment shall be suitable for the use which it is provided
