Regular electrical safety checks and testing are a legal requirement for all businesses and landlords.  The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that employers are responsible for health and safety in the workplace. The Electricity at Work Regulations require precautions against personal injury and death. Businesses lay themselves open to prosecution if their people are not protected against electrical injuries at work.

It is essential that EICRs are carried out regularly because electrical installations deteriorate over time, along with any remedial work. Test frequencies can vary but include:

• Every five years for schools, colleges, universities and other educational establishments
• Every five years for commercial and retail premises
• Every three years for leisure facilities, cinemas and theatres
• Every year for swimming pools
• Every three years for buildings which serve the industrial sector
• Every six months for construction sites

Areas of testing include sockets, light fittings, supply points and wiring accessories and we test for the correct functionality of connections and cables.
