HSE Reveals Myths

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) publish a series of myths of the month for businesses. The myth for July, which businesses need to be aware of, is that all office equipment must be tested annually by a qualified electrician. The HSE states that in reality employers are required to assess risks and take appropriate action.

In order to satisfy this requirement equipment could be checked visually by a competent employee for obvious signs of damage. The employee does not need to be a qualified electrician.
