The reason for carrying out periodic inspection and testing of electrical installations is to make sure that the condition of any such system can be determined in order to ensure compliance with national safety standards by identifying failures or defects and making appropriate recommendations via a periodic inspection report.
By carrying out testing and inspection at regular intervals, deficiencies in your electrical systems can be identified and dealt with immediately, meaning that a flaw does not persist undetected which may eventually result in fire or injury.
Any electrical installation will deteriorate with age and it is paramount that systems are maintained appropriately to safeguard members of staff and premises. PIR will examine and evaluate not only the deterioration of the installation, but also its safety.
By law you are required to make sure that any electrical installations are kept in safe conditions. If regular inspection and testing is neglected, not only do you run the risk of imprisonment, but you are also endangering the lives of your workforce and may incur large fines and loss of income as well as the possibility of invalidating your insurance claims.
Legislation requires fixed wire testing being carried out every one to five years in all work places. In compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989, all work activities and rented accommodation must take precautions to avoid the risk of death or personal injury.
