  Select Tolerable: No major additional controls required. However, there might be a need for improvements that involve minor or limited cost. Trivial: No action is required and no detailed records need to be kept Moderate: It is essential that efforts are made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures should be implemented within a defined time period. Where moderate risk is associated with consequences that constitute extreme harm, further assessment might be required to establish more precisely the likelihood of harm as a basis for determining the priority for improved control measures.. Substantial: considerable resources might have to be allocated to reduce the risk if the building is unoccupied it should not be occupied until the risk has been reduced. If the building is occupied urgent action should be taken. Intolerable: Building or relevant area should not be occupied until the risk is reduced

ELECTRICAL SOURCES OF IGNITION

• Is portable appliance testing carried out?

  Select Yes No Opportunity for Improvement, see notes It was confirmed that you implemented an effective Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) regime. This aligns with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, demonstrating a proactive approach to reducing fire risks from portable appliances. You have not implemented a Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) regime. While PAT testing is not a legal requirement, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 legally requires employers to ensure electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is widely recognized as best practice to achieve compliance. I recommend implementing a PAT program aligned with the IET Code of Practice to reduce fire risks. All portable appliances used on site are brand new. PAT testing was not deemed to be required by the business at this time. Recommendations: 1. Implement a Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) Program – Establish a structured PAT testing regime that aligns with HSG107 guidance, ensuring all portable electrical appliances are periodically inspected and tested. 2. Adopt a Risk-Based Testing Frequency – Follow a risk assessment approach to determine the appropriate testing frequency: • High-risk environments (e.g., construction, workshops): Test every 6–12 months. • Office environments (low-risk): Formal testing every 2–4 years, with annual visual checks. 3. Conduct Visual Inspections Before Use – Train employees to perform basic visual inspections of plugs, cables, and casings before using portable appliances. 4. Ensure Record-Keeping for Compliance – Maintain PAT testing logs to track testing dates, faults, and remedial actions, ensuring evidence of compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. 5. Label and Identify Tested Equipment – Clearly mark tested appliances with pass/fail labels to indicate their safety status and next due test date. 6. Review Insurance Requirements – Many insurers require evidence of electrical equipment maintenance; implementing PAT testing will support insurance compliance and reduce liability in case of electrical incidents.

The installation was inspected and tested within the required interval, ensuring compliance with BS 7671 and demonstrating a proactive approach to minimising electrical fire risks. No evidence of EICR could be provided during this assessment. Recommendations: 1. Schedule an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) – Arrange for a qualified electrician to carry out an EICR to assess the safety and condition of the fixed electrical installation. 2.

• When was this completed?

• Was the installation deemed satisfactory on the EICR?

• Is the area surrounding the Installation clear from clutter?

  Select Yes No It was noted that the area surrounding the installation is not clear from clutter, which increases fire risk and obstructs access to critical equipment. The presence of combustible materials, stored items, or general obstructions around the installation could contribute to fire spread and hinder emergency response. Opportunity for improvement N/a Recommendations: 1. Remove Unnecessary Clutter – Ensure that the area surrounding the installation is kept clear at all times, removing any stored items, combustible materials, or obstructions. 2. Implement a Designated Clearance Zone – Introduce a minimum clearance distance (e.g., 1 meter for electrical panels, as per BS 7671) to ensure safe access for maintenance and emergency shutdown. 3. Introduce Regular Housekeeping Inspections – Assign a responsible person to conduct weekly checks to maintain clear access to the installation. 4. Improve Signage and Awareness – Install “Keep Clear” signage around the installation to reinforce the importance of unobstructed access. 5. Update Workplace Procedures – Amend internal policies to prohibit storage of materials near the installation, ensuring compliance with fire and electrical safety regulations. 6. Provide Staff Training – Educate employees on the risks associated with blocking access to installations, reinforcing the need for compliance during daily operations.

• Are measures in place to enforce suitable limitations of trailing cables?

  Select Yes No It was noted that measures are not in place to enforce suitable limitations on trailing cables, increasing the risk of trips, falls, and electrical hazards. Uncontrolled trailing cables can contribute to fire risks, overheating, and damage to electrical systems, particularly in high-traffic areas. Opportunity for improvement Recommendations: 1. Implement Cable Management Systems – Install cable trays, floor trunking, and/or cable covers to minimise exposure of trailing cables and prevent trip hazards. 2. Use Wireless or Fixed Equipment Where Possible – Reduce the need for trailing cables by switching to wireless devices or fixed power sources where feasible. 3. Enforce a Cable Routing Policy – Ensure cables are routed along walls, under desks, or through designated cable pathways rather than across walkways. 4. Provide Adequate Power Outlets – Install additional power sockets in areas where extension cables are frequently used, reducing the reliance on trailing leads. 5.

• Controlling personal appliances brought in by employees is crucial to prevent electrical fires caused by non-PAT-tested devices or overloading of circuits. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to maintain safe electrical systems, including portable appliances. Allowing unregulated personal appliances in the workplace may compromise compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 because employers are required to take reasonable steps to reduce fire risks and maintain fire safety. Non-PAT-tested appliances may introduce electrical faults, increase ignition risks, and overload circuits, violating the duty to ensure safe premises and equipment.
