Maitaining compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1989 is an ongoing process. Organisations face a whole raft of challenges each and every day. Education, risk assessment and safety inspections all help to make the workplace safer for everyone. Businesses must devote adequate resource and support the efforts of their safety managers to make sure employees can carry out their duties in a hazard free environment. Complacency can kill. Vigilance is key. Good safety managers and responsible organisations never take their eye off the ball. After all, accidents shatter lives and can destroy corporate reputations.
Electricity powers the modern workplace. It makes everything possible. All of the technology and subsequent productivity is powered by electricity. It’s amazingly useful, but it can also be incredibly dangerous. Regular electrical testing is essential to make sure that firstly the wiring is safe, and secondly to make sure that all of the appliances that people use are working properly. People take electricity for granted, but things can go badly wrong when wiring or appliances are faulty. It’s not a risk worth taking. Problems must be dealt with immediately to ensure that no harm is done.
Electrical inspection means peace of mind. Every type of business needs to find a trusted partner to carry out this work. A partner they can rely on to identify and fix any faults that they find on regular sweeps of the workplace. Testing like this is a necessary investment and one that makes the workplace safer, helping businesses to protect staff and visitors, avoiding safety breaches.
The power of electricity to harm and kill should always be respected and never underestimated. Regular testing means that any faults are picked up there and then. Staff have a right to a safe workplace. Organisations must comply with regulations and keep it that way. Testing and inspection can help to prevent safety incidents from happening.
