Electrical Inspection & Testing by an Approved Contractor
The Electrical Safety at Work Regulations 1989 are very clear about employer's obligations to keep anyone in their building safe from electrical harm. Each year about 1000 accidents at work involving shock and burn are reported and about 25 of these are fatal. Fires started by poor electrical installations and faulty electrical equipment cause many other deaths and injuries. Explosions are caused by electrical apparatus or static electricity igniting flammable vapours or dusts.
