What does the law say?’
Regulation 4(2) of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
says ‘As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems
shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably
practicable, such danger’.
The UK Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) requires
that “every employer shall ensure that work equipment is so constructed or
adopted as to be suitable for the purpose for which it is used or provided”.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1998 states “As may be necessary to prevent
danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent so far as reasonably
practicable, such danger.”
This means that employers (and the self-employed) must ensure that all
electrical work equipment is safe, suitable for the purpose and properly
maintained in good order.
Records
Although there is no mandatory requirement to produce and keep records on the
condition of electrical equipment, the HSE Memorandum of guidance on the
Electricity at Work Regulations (HS(R)25) advises that records of maintenance,
including test results, will enable the condition of equipment and the
effectiveness of maintenance policies to be monitored.
The IEE Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical
Equipment recommends that a log be kept of the condition of equipment, together
with records that may be held on paper or on electronic memory.
In the event of a prosecution arising from an injury relating to a portable
appliance, it would assist the employer’s case if they can produce up to date,
accurate records to indicate that they had taken reasonable actions to comply
with the Electricity at Work Regulations.
Help and Advice.
The IEE, with the support of the UK Government’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE),
has prepared guidance, including suggested initial frequency of inspection and
testing of equipment in a `Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and
Testing of Electrical Equipment'. A description of the CoP and table of contents
can be found at http://www.theiet.org/publishing/wiring-regulations/index.cfm.
