Visual Inspections
A trained electrician can also carry out a visual inspection of your property, providing you with a quick analysis of how safe it is. A visual check will look for damaged light switches and sockets, broken cables and scorch marks that result from the overloading of the power outlet. It will also inspect the residual current device (RCD). These visual checks should be carried out at regular intervals between the more thorough periodic inspections.
But why do we spend time and energy on electrical testing?
The numbers:
350,000 serious injuries every year are caused by electrical accidents
1,000 accidents in workplaces every year involve electric shock or burns (reported to the Health & Safety Executive)
30 (on average) are fatal
4,000 accidental fires in commercial, business and public (non-residential) buildings in 2011/12 were caused by faulty appliances and leads
80% of faulty electrical products are never returned
We also offer comprehensive service maintenance contracts which are tailored to meet each clients’ specific needs.
