Electrical failures, faults, and accidents are mainly occurred due to incorrect insulation, carelessness or poor maintenance. All of these are factors that may be avoided with proper periodic installation condition check.
Electrical safety programs are of paramount significant with the increased reliance on portable equipment for working people to conduct their everyday duties. Within the services industry it is common knowledge that employers have a responsibility to ensure their premises meet codes and regulations, are compliant and safe for their workers.
Facility owners should ensure regular testing & inspection of electrical installation to prevent electrical accidents or fires occurring in the workplace. Also, ensure educating your employees about the risk of operating electrical system. Electrical installation should be routinely checked for proper insulation and corrective measures to be taken immediately if risks of dangers identified.
What is an EICR-Electrical Installation Condition Report?
An EICR is a periodic testing & inspection of electrical installations, which confirms whether the installation is in a satisfactory serviceable condition or not. This periodic inspection reveals any condition, damage, wear & tear, deterioration or defect which could result in danger.
On completion safety check, the final report will be provided, which help to find any defective electrical installations, but also reveal any lack of bonding or earthing issue in the facility and next inspection date.
As per codes, it is recommended that for safety reasons the electrical installation should be tested & inspected at periodic intervals by a competent professional. This inspection period depends on the usage of the facility, the interval between inspections-which should not exceed three years interval.
