Legislative Requirements

Don't be caught out – stay ahead of the rest!

You work in the industry, you know how exacting legislative requirements are and the sheer challenge they can be when faced with other demands.

Owners and operators of high-voltage electrical equipment have a statutory responsibility for their equipment in accordance with:

• The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974; 
• The Electricity at Work Regulations; 
• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

You need to provide management systems that ensure safe operation and minimise injury risk. By law these need to include:

• Suitable records; 
• Procedures and policies for your equipments' design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance; 
• Effectiveness monitoring of the above; 
• Clear identification of roles and responsibilities and training requirements for your workforce. 

You need to maintain an asset register and system diagrams including:

• System diagrams of electrical networking, showing the location and interconnections between various plant items, including switchgear; 
• Details of equipment manufacture, type, serial number, your manufacturer, date of insulation, voltage current rating, short-circuit rating and type of operating mechanism. 
• Maintenance records for each item is together with details of any modifications or operational limitations; 
• Itemise fault clearance operations since circuit breakers were last maintained.
