Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
Every Employer shall ensure that the results of an inspection made under this regulation are recorded and kept until the next inspection under this regulation is recorded.
Plug Wiring:
A common cause of electrical faults is a poorly wired plug. Wiring a plug is not difficult however it's important to get right.
Fuses:
The fuse in the plug is not fitted to protect the
appliance, although in practice it often does this. The fuse protects the flex.
RCD's:
RCDs are often known by other names, e.g.
earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCB) or safety switches.
