Electric regulations require a landlord and employers to ensure that all electrical items are maintained and suitable for use, ensuring that any risk to employees, tenants, and members of the public are minimised as far as is reasonably practical.

Any damage to the plug or power supply can often go unnoticed by the user but leave the equipment in a unsafe and dangerous condition.

As an employer or landlord you are responsible for any accidents or injuries happen.

Breaches in this duty could result in up to £5’000 or a 6 month custodial sentences.

Our PAT and data base service will demonstrate that your equipment was up to date and the you are exercised the maximum duty of care required. We are also find now that the majority of buildings and contents insurers are stipulating that all equipment is regular inspected and a valid certificate must be in place to validate your insurance. The drive from insures is as a direct result of over 2000 plus electrical fires per year often caused by poor equipment condition and more often than not never inspected.

Part of your fire risk assessment should stipulate that all items are checked and given a pass or fail sticker
