There has been a rather unfair backlash against health and safety in the workplace in recent years. People who question what they see as excessive rules and regulations (the nanny state at its worst), would do well to realise just how many accidents and deaths take place at work in the UK each year.

One of the biggest dangers in any workplace is electricity. Faulty appliances and faulty wiring can kill. It is precisely for this reason that such strict laws and regulations govern electrical inspection. Accidents and deaths at work are unacceptable.

The best form of health and safety is proactive and preventative health and safety. As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Which is why it’s important to find a partner to carry out regular electrical testing of all appliances and electrical systems in the workplace

Thanks to this kind of thorough electrical inspection, faults and problems can be identified and rectified before they can cause harm. Meaning that employers can comply with government legislation and regulation, and employees can work in a safe environment. It’s a win-win situation.

When it comes to electrical testing, it’s important to find a reliable partner. One that uses skilled and highly trained testers to ensure all equipment and systems are working properly and safely – a partner like Elecheck. They have forged an enviable reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s leading testing contractors. They are trusted by their customers for very good reasons. Their skills and experience ensure that they do a thorough job every time; giving both employers and employees the peace of mind they need at work.
