Each year
there are about 1,000 reported workplace accidents involving electric
shocks or burns with about 25 proving fatal.
If you are an employer,
landlord or nominated duty holder, it is your legal responsibility to
ensure that all electrical equipment is safe. The Electricity at Work
Regulations 1989 and The Corporate Manslaughter Act make these
responsibilities clear.
There is also a requirement by
many insurance companies for complete testing of all H.V
and L.V installations within commercial and industrial premises.
