Why do portable appliances need testing?
Contact usThe level of inspection and testing required depends upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty, upon the type of appliance, the nature of its use and the environment in which it is used.
Health & Safety states that of all reportable electrical accidents, 25% involve hand-held and portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers, employees and self-employed persons to comply with the regulations and take reasonably practicable steps to make sure that no danger results from the use of portable equipment.
This means, in effect, that a systematic and planned periodical program of maintenance, inspection and testing is carried out. The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) places this obligation on employers where:
✔
Appliances are used by employees
✔
The public may use appliances in establishments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc
✔
Appliances are supplied or hired
✔
Appliances are repaired or serviced

How often should appliances be tested?
Most items should be tested annually. After testing you will receive an asset register which gives an end date for each item, and will allow you to arrange re-testing accordingly. Please note that brand new appliances do not need to be checked in their first year.
