The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
“Electrical equipment used in the business shall be routinely inspected and tested to ensure it is safe and functional”

“Every employer shall make adequate assessments of the Health & Safety risks his employees are exposed to whilst at work.
Many businesses are unaware of the insurance implications when it comes to regular portable appliance testing. Insurance companies assume that when giving insurance cover to a business, the owners of that business are complying with all necessary regulations. An insurance company may reduce, delay or even refuse to pay on a claim for damage if an appliance, that has not been tested, has caused the damage.
“There is a duty of care on the employer and employee to ensure safe work premises”
