Electrical check
February 1st 2005 HSE statistics show that in 2003/2004, electric shocks caused 10 deaths and 148 non-fatal major injuries to employees in the UK. There were also 376 electrical incidents resulting in the loss of more than three working day’s productivity.
Seaward Electronics estimates that at any time about 20% of electrical appliances used in workplaces need re-testing to ensure that they do not pose a hazard to users.
The company has recently introduced new safety testing management technology for safety personnel, facilities managers, maintenance staff and those contractors with responsibility for ensuring that working and public environments remain safe.
The software-based system provides automatic and pre-emptive re-test alerts for electrical equipment and appliances.
The program works by automatically monitoring, analysing and interrogating safety testing records, triggering an immediate email message highlighting those electrical items requiring re-testing. More articles from Seaward Group: |
