Control measures to be implemented - Portable Appliance Testing should be carried out by a competent person every 6 months in line with HSG INDG236 ‘Maintaining portable electric equipment in offices and other low-risk environments’. Pre use examinations should be carried out by operatives to ensure that any cables have no damage to insulation, severing to outer casing, lose connections and that fuse/pins are all in good condition.
All faults should be reported to the Health & Safety Department immediately and the equipment should not be used until it has been re tested and declared safe by a competent person.
