Ensure your safety and protect your electrical appliances with professional PAT testing. PAT testing, or Portable Appliance Testing, is a vital process that involves thorough inspection and testing of electrical equipment.

By conducting these tests, we ensure that your appliances are safe to use, reducing the risk of injuries or damage.

Unfortunately, many people tend to neglect or delay electrical testing and inspections, often due to carelessness or negligence.

However, this can lead to various risks and hazards associated with mishandled electrical equipment.

Some common dangers include severe damage to your electrical devices, overloading of sockets, potential explosions, fires caused by voltage overloads, and significant risks to both people and property.

At The Elec Group, we take pride in being a renowned provider of electrical testing and compliance services.

With years of industry experience, we are dedicated to offering the best compliance solutions and electrical testing services.

In accordance with regulations, the EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) plays a significant role in ensuring compliance.

The EICR provides a comprehensive overview of the inspection’s testing procedures and results, highlighting both the areas in good working order and those that require attention.

By obtaining an EICR, you can ensure that your building meets the necessary safety standards.

When constructing new buildings, it has become common practice to include pre-installed emergency lighting systems. These systems are designed and equipped according to the latest Building Regulations and local authority standards.

In compliance with the BS5266 ‘Code of Practice for Emergency Lighting,’ it is a legal obligation to install and inspect emergency lighting systems in non-domestic buildings.

Inspections are conducted to ensure that all emergency lights function properly during a power outage, providing clear exit routes in case of an emergency situation.

To meet legal requirements, an Emergency Lighting Inspection should be performed annually to verify the correct operation of the emergency lighting system. Additionally, it is highly recommended to conduct monthly testing by a professional as a precautionary measure for maintaining the lights.

Please note that monthly testing serves as a proactive measure and does not substitute the annual inspection.

Ensuring fire safety in your business is crucial. Our expert assessors conduct thorough risk assessments to identify potential fire hazards within your premises. They guide you on necessary improvements, if required, to mitigate risks effectively.

According to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all businesses are legally obligated to undergo periodic Fire Risk Assessments that match the level of risk or whenever significant changes occur in the premises, such as use, structure, or staffing.

Once your assessment is successfully completed and compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, we provide you with a safety certificate, assuring that your building adheres to the latest fire safety regulations.

To comply with the law, it’s essential to keep your Fire Risk Assessment up to date. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, you must have an assessment every six months to maintain code compliance and ensure the safety of your employees during emergencies.

Our team works closely with you to understand your specific requirements and offers tailored quotes accordingly. The Operations Team will communicate with you to finalize dates and handle logistical arrangements, ensuring minimal disruption to your business operations during the testing process.

Whenever possible, we conduct the necessary work during regular business hours. In cases where it’s not feasible, such as evenings, nights, or weekends, we can accommodate your schedule and arrange for the work to be done outside of normal hours.

As a health and safety professional, ensuring the safety of employees, visitors, and students is of utmost importance. One potential health hazard that cannot be ignored is the risk of Legionella bacteria.

In this blog article, we will delve into the world of Legionella Risk Assessment – its importance, legal requirements, and best practices to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all.

Yes, it is. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places a legal duty on employers to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees, visitors, and anyone else who may be affected by their activities. 

In addition, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 require employers to conduct a risk assessment for any hazardous substances or organisms, including Legionella bacteria, that may be present in the workplace.

The frequency of Legionella Risk Assessments depends on the complexity of the water system and the potential risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria. For example, a simple hot water system in an office building may only require an assessment every two years, while a complex cooling tower system in a hospital may require more frequent assessments.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that a Legionella Risk Assessment be reviewed regularly and whenever there is a change to the water system.

It is crucial to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of individuals in both domestic and non-domestic premises, and a legal obligation exists to control the risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria.
