Consequently legislation under, The Electricity
at Work Act (1989) requires all electrical installations
to be maintained in a safe condition and therefore
must be periodically inspected & tested to ensure
safety. Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 places
a legal responsibility on employers and employees,
as duty holders, to endure that electrical systems
used at work under their control are safe.
To achieve compliance with the legal requirements
of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires
proof that an electrical system is safe, which
involves amongst other things, proper inspection
and testing of a system by competent people and
the creation and maintenance of records.

Emergency lighting is obligatory
in all premises where people are in
work. It is a Life Safety System and
is required to assist the occupants
in the event of an emergency. It will
support the evacuation of a premises
in the event of power failure. It
is a mandatory requirement to be installed
where artificial lighting is installed.
Remember, Emergency
Lighting is designed to help save
lives
Legal.
All Employers, Landlords or Occupiers
have a duty under the "Fire Precaution
(Workplace) Regulations 1999"
to carry out a risk assessment to
ensure their premises and activities
are able to facilitate safe escape
in the event of an emergency complying

Periodic Inspection Report
Periodic Inspection Report for an
Electrical Installation sometime called
PIR. Under the Electricity at Work
Regulations 1989 all electrical installations
in the work place have to be periodically
inspected and tested in accordance
with current edition of BS7671, the
frequency of this inspection varies
somewhat depending on the type and
age of the installation (wiring) the
maximum period between inspections
is 5 years for a commercial premises
and 10 years for a domestic household.
To decide whether your premises has
undergone such an inspection a label
has to be fitted to the fuse boards
indicating the date of the last inspection
and the next due date.
If these labels are not present it is
likely that the inspection has not been
carried-out or may have not been carried
out properly. We use the very latest
methods to carry out this potentially
disruptive work and issue the NICEIC
Periodic Electrical Inspection Report
Certificate together with a recommendations
report for remedial improvements as
required. It is becoming increasingly
important to mortgage lenders that this
test is also carried out prior to a
mortgage offer being submitted when
buying a property in the same way, as
the structural survey is required. It
is deemed that the surveyor generally
will not be fully conversant with current
electrical requirements and therefore
this survey has to be carried out by
a specialist contractor who is accredited
by the approving body such us NICEIC
