A Safe Working Environment

More and more companies are introducing important procedures to ensure the safety of their company. Where reasonable, a proactive maintenance programme should be introduced to create a safe working environment.

Fixed Wire Testing

It is a requirement of the 1974 Health and Safety At Work Act that fixed wire testing must be carried out. In addition, electrical systems installed in places of work must comply with the requirements of the 1989 Electricity At Work Regulations. Typically, a company assessing their health and safety policy instigates the testing and inspection.

Following Important Regulations

Regulation 4 (2) of the Electricity At Work Regulations 1989 requires that all systems and apparatus are maintained where this will prevent danger. The prime method to accurately decide when maintenance is necessary to prevent danger is to perform regular inspections and tests. Consequently, it can be construed that there is a legal requirement to inspect and test.

Seeking Professional Guidance

All information is in accordance with the recommendations published by the Institution of Electrical Engineers™ (IEE) in Inspection and Testing Guidance Note 3 and B.S. 7671: 2008, including amendments.

Expertly Testing Fire Alarms

Fire alarm testing enables you to verify the correct operation of your existing installation. However, it does not certify that the original design meets current guidelines. The testing of fire alarms is governed by BS 5839: Part 1: 2002. Standby generators and vented battery systems, although also governed by BS 5839, are dealt with separately. Please consult our team for details.

Emergency Lighting Solutions

The testing of emergency lighting is governed by BS 5266 - 8: 2004. The testing of the emergency lighting will verify that the existing installation operates correctly. However, it does not certify that the original design meets current guidelines. We offer a separate emergency lighting design service.

Appliance Testing

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 places responsibility on employers to ensure that all appliances used within the workplace are maintained in a safe condition. The IEE™ Code of practice suggests frequencies of testing for various types of appliances in various environments.
