Electrical Safety
Electrical testing and tagging helps identify hazards, and control the risks of injury from exposure to electricity.

Working safely with electricity
Employers must provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and without risks to the health of employees, so far as is reasonably practicable.

Employers must provide and maintain systems of work that are, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health. This includes ensuring systems of work are developed, communicated and implemented.

Examples of common ways to control risks include:

· regularly inspecting leads and cables for wear, damage before use

· tagging out and removing any faulty or damaged electrical equipment from service

· ensuring only competent people, such as appropriately licensed or registered electricians, carry out repairs to electrical installations and equipment

· protecting power circuits from overloading by using an appropriately rated protection device such as, an RCD or circuit breaker

· providing enough individual socket outlets for equipment

· using battery powered equipment instead of mains operated, where possible

· using lead stands or insulated cable hangers to keep leads off the ground and away from sharp edges

· using cable protection ramps or covers to protect cables and cords, where applicable
