Electrical Safety Testing Checklist

Ready to get your safety testing regime in order?

Here's our step-by-step process for initiating a successful inspection, testing and maintenance schedule:

  • Establish a register, covering all electrical tools, equipment and appliances.

  • Carry out regular visual inspections at intervals determined by your risk assessment.

  • Nominate a 'duty holder' with responsibility for the safety of electrical equipment - and ensure ‘duty holder' is properly trained.
     
  • Determine the frequency of formal testing in consultation with IEE recommendations, and commit as an organisation to a regular inspection and testing programme.

  • Ensure tests are carried out in keeping with the frequency of testing plan, using diary reminders and regular, documented Health and Safety meetings.

  • Establish a formal record keeping system, and check it at regular intervals using diary reminders.

  • Determine a re-test schedule well in advance.

  • Once a year, review and update all Health and Safety documents and processes.


Part of our commitment to clients is ensuring that we are thorough, so cables and appliances that cannot be reached or examined for whatever reason will not be passed.

We will immediately explain to the duty holder or responsible person if we cannot test a certain appliance, and discuss a solution.

We work hard to exceed expectations wherever possible, so we hope you will find this thorough and professional approach reassuring.
