Common sense testing

Seaward has introduced two free
booklets providing guidance for
companies, organisations and
contractors involved in workplace
electrical safety testing.

The new publications are intended
to help those involved understand
how electrical health and safety
obligations can be fulfilled in a
realistic and cost effective manner –
without the need for unnecessary or
over excessive inspection and testing
regimes.

The first booklet in the series, ‘A
Common Sense Approach to
Electrical Safety Testing in the
Workplace’, is aimed at companies
and organisations that utilise or
commission portable appliance
testing services.

The other publication in the series
is aimed at the contractor or
individual planning to establish a
safety testing business offering PAT
testing services: The Responsible
Business Builder booklet. It also
specifically emphasises the
importance of a professional and
common sense approach.
