Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Staying compliant

6th July 2018

As electrical safety specialists, compliance is at the heart of everything we do, and we therefore always ensure that we’re up-to-speed with any changes in regulations that may occur. It was announced that the new BS 7671:2018 Requirements for Electrical Installations would be issued on 2 July this year and would come into effect on 1 January 2019. All electrical installations designed after 31 December 2018 will have to comply with these new requirements.

For Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical Services, the announcement of the new regulations created an opportunity to keep the business at the forefront of electrical safety. 'As soon as we heard that new requirements for electrical installations were being implemented on 1 January 2019, we ordered a copy of the regulations and immediately booked the relevant training courses so that we will all be fully trained before the launch,’ comments Mark. 'Not only is it a commitment to our own professional development, it’s also a commitment to our clients, whose electrical safety is paramount to us.’

MS Electrical Services offer fixed wire testing in Cambridge, so if you have any concerns at all about the safety of your electrical installations or the implications of the new regulations, please call us on 01223 850301 for an initial discussion.

Testimonials

Ensuring we have a safe and compliant working environment for everybody is incredibly important to us. In order to meet the requirements of the accrediting bodies we appoint, ensuring we are PAT tested annually and correctly is vital. For the last 3 years we have used MS Electrical Services for our annual branch PAT testing and we have found their service to be excellent, with true professionalism from the engineer who visits our premises and undertakes the testing. Invoicing and test reports are delivered in good time and are clear to read and understand. Mark at MS Electrical Services also advises if we are to replace any appliances or if there is any safety risk. We would recommend MS Electrical to other businesses that would benefit from their dexterous and professional service.
