ZONE - 2 Regulation 4(2) of the Electricity at Work
Electricity at
Work
Regulations 1989 says ‘As may be
Regulations necessary to prevent danger, all systems
1989 shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far RISK
as is reasonably practicable, such danger’.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
The main hazards are:
 contact with live parts causing shock and burns (normal mains voltage, 230
volts AC, can kill); faults which could cause fires;
 fire or explosion where electricity could be the source of ignition in a
potentially flammable or explosive atmosphere, eg in a spray paint booth.
It is the Employers duty to ‘Provide safe and suitable equipment’
 Choose equipment that is suitable for its working environment;
 Electrical risks can sometimes be eliminated by using air, hydraulic or hand powered tools.
These are especially useful in harsh conditions;
 Ensure that equipment is safe when supplied and then maintain it in a safe condition;
 provide an accessible and clearly identified switch near each fixed machine to cut off power in
an emergency;
FIRE EQUIPMENT ESCAPE ROUTES SIGNS & SIGNAGE
 For portable equipment, use socket-outlets which are close by so that equipment can be easily
disconnected in an emergency;
 The ends of flexible cables should always have the outer sheath of the cable firmly clamped to
stop the wires (particularly the earth) pulling out of the terminals;
 Replace damaged sections of cable completely;
 Use proper connectors or cable couplers to join lengths of cable. Do not use strip connector
blocks covered in insulating tape;
 Some types of equipment are double insulated. These are often marked with a ‘double-
square’ symbol. The supply leads have only two wires - live(brown) and neutral (blue).
Make sure they are properly connected if the plug is not a moulded-on type;
 Protect light bulbs and other equipment which could easily be damaged in use. There is
PEOPLE EQUIPMENT MATERIALS a risk of electric shock if they are broken;
 Electrical equipment used in flammable/explosive atmospheres should be designed to
PUWERit from causing ignition. You may need specialist advice.
