Health and safety in the workplace can often be daunting and have a reputation for being either expensive or making hard work of simple tasks, so here we want to dispel some of the myths and common misconceptions which may be causing you headaches or “sleepless nights” to quote one of our customers…

Myth of the month - July 2007

The myth:
All office equipment must be tested by a qualified electrician every year

No. The law requires employers to assess risks and take appropriate action.

HSE’s advice is that for most office electrical equipment, visual checks for obvious signs of damage and perhaps simple tests by a competent member of staff are quite sufficient.
