Back to top2) What is Electrical Compliance?
Electrical compliance refers to the regulations and laws that a property owner or manager must comply with regarding the installation and maintenance of the electrical system and equipment at their Derby area premises.
The purpose of electrical compliance is to reduce the risk of injury, commonly through electrical shocks and fires, to both their employees and service users. This is achieved by ensuring all electrical installations are properly installed, well maintained, and regularly inspected. Periodic electrical inspections are the keystone of electrical compliance, allowing business owners to identify potential risks before they become a real danger. Electrical compliance also helps to ensure the integrity of the fabric of your building itself and is typically a required by your insurers too.
In order to demonstrate compliance, each of these activities must be carried out by a qualified and registered electrician and documented correctly. Failure to comply with legislation in this can result in hefty fines for the responsible person. If you are unsure of your obligations – or the correct inspection routine for your premises, our knowledgeable team will be happy to advise.
