Overview
We help your business create a safe working environment
We provide bespoke safe working practices and procedures to help increase employee awareness of how to work safely with electricity.
We have a wealth of experience in providing organisations with electrical safety rules and procedures. We carry out on-site assessments to identify regulatory compliance gaps, assess risk and provide a bespoke ‘safe system of work’ framework for your business to follow.
We identify and minimise risks
Around two thirds of all electrical accidents are caused by inadequate working practices. The costs associated with regulatory non-compliance and on-site electrical incidents can be:
- Health and Safety Executive (HSE) fines and lawsuits
- Production downtime
- Business closure
Safe and compliant businesses operate smoothly and more efficiently, being less susceptible to health and safety incidents that can lead to production downtime, HSE investigation, negative publicity and the temporary or permanent closure of business.
To identify your company’s safe working procedure requirements, it’s important to ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I know the risks arising from our activities?
- Do I know how to eliminate, control or reduce them?
- How do I communicate the above information effectively to my staff?
- How do I know they are complying with those measures?
By understanding your business needs and your obligations under legislation, we can provide a tailored solution to keep your business compliant. Our services are self-delivered, saving you management time and reducing the total cost of service provision.
We remove avoidable costs through a comprehensive range of solutions
We can provide you with all the relevant documentation applicable to your specific site conditions to allow your people to work safely with electricity. We can undertake required electrical risk assessments or establish a system for key members of staff to complete themselves.

Code of practice for safe working on low voltage electrical systems
Shock or serious burns from contact with low voltage systems may have serious consequences and in extreme circumstances can be fatal. Electrical and other relevant personnel must receive training as companies are under a statutory obligation to provide instruction and information to their staff.
The code of practice is specifically designed to give a systematic approach to electrical work through rules and guidance to staff and contractors. This is in order to prevent death or personal injury from electrical courses in connection with work activities.
We undertake site based audits to produce reports on an organisation’s current status of compliance measured against statutory requirements including:
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999
- Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
