Managing Electrical Safety - Inspection Test and Maintenance (ROSPA Endorsed)

The requirement under Regulation 4 of the Electricity at Work Regulations is for “electrical systems to be constructed and maintained so as to prevent danger at all times”. The term ‘danger’ - which is unique to the Electricity at Work Regulations - is defined as “the risk of injury from electric shock”, which means that the Regulations therefore require all electrical systems to be set up, and maintained, in such a way that they do not allow anyone to suffer injury as a result of the electricity that may flow within the system at any time. Setting up and maintaining a system to achieve this requirement, needs all those involved to understand the role played by inspection, test, and maintenance of electrical systems. The duration of this course is 20 minutes and can be completed over multiple sessions. By the end of this course you will be able to: • Understand visual inspections • Understand formal visual inspections • Acknowledge PAT Competence • Explain combined inspection and testing including PAT • Describe combined inspection and testing in other areas • Describe electrical equipment safety in low-risk environments
