Electrical Hazards Inspection - Vapo Warehouse

Are electrical sockets free from overloading? (Ensure that portable power boards are not connected to each other (i.e. avoid 'daisy chaining' by plugging one power board into another, and check that only single appliances are connected to each socket. Extension leads should be plugged directly into the wall outlet and not plugged into a power board).

Are electrical cords free from trailing across the floor where they may be stood on and potentially damaged? (note that cords that are 'taped over' or taped to the floor are only suitable for a short duration (couple of days maximum), not a long-term solution).

Check that there are no exposed electrical cables anywhere around the site (such as exposed wiring), or damaged outer sheath to the wiring. Cabling within a persons reach should be inside plastic or metal conduit, not just a bare cable running across a wall or dangling from a bea.)

Check that all power adaptors (power brick's) to equipment such as computers, phone chargers and other electrical equipment is not in a location where other items could be stored on top of it (adaptors get hot and can cause overheating or a fire when items cover them up).

Are all portable electrical equipment power cords and extension leads free from any damage such as exposed wires, damaged cables, cables pulled slightly out from the plug, damaged plugs etc? (Portable electrical equipment is anything that can be moved around e.g. computers, laptops, printers, kettle, fridge, microwave, chargers, portable fans, portable heaters, vacuum cleaners, extension cords, power boards etc.

Has testing and tagging occurred for all portable electrical items and is the test within date? (Check the tag that should be on the cord and the date should not have expired. If there is no tag on the cord then mark the answer as 'Non-compliant')

The main electrical switch board has a lock to secure it from being opened ?

Are all electrical appliances (e.g., printers, computers, scanners, heaters, fans, vacuum cleaner, kitchen appliances etc) in good working order and free from visible damage?

Are all wall sockets free from any signs of damage, cracks etc?

Are any electrical appliances, chargers, or power adaptors showing any signs of overheating?
