Electrical safety testing is a vital part of a good maintenance plan
When you make plans to shockproof your appliances, you’re helping to ensure the safety of your everyone who works in your organisation. The law requires you to ensure that all electrical appliances and pieces of equipment are safe to use.
Shockproof Electrical can work with you to ensure that you provide that level of safety. Our highly trained and dedicated team of experienced electricians can also advise you and your employees on the best ways to ensure that each piece of equipment provides long and reliable service for your organisation.
Electrical Equipment: The Dangers
Frayed cables and broken switches are just some of the more obvious problems that can affect heavily used electrical items in workplace settings. For more technical problems, a full inspection will be needed.
Electrical injuries can be caused by a wide range of voltages but the risk of injury is generally greater with higher voltages and is dependent upon individual circumstances. Torch batteries can ignite flammable substances.
Alternating current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) electrical supplies can cause a range of injuries.
Even a voltage as low as 50 volts applied between two parts of the human body can block the electrical signals between the brain and the muscles. Effects can include:
- Interrupted heartbeat
- Prevention of breathing
- Muscle spasms
If you are regularly working with power tools or equipment in the kind of damp or humid conditions that can damage electrical items, regular maintenance will be essential. And if the equipment you are using is high voltage, you’ll want to make sure that every precaution is being taken to prevent serious accidents.
It’s vital to shockproof the equipment that you, your employees, and your clients rely on every day.
