Electrical equipment should be visually checked regularly. Equipment should be more thoroughly tested by a competent person often enough that there is little chance that the equipment will become dangerous between tests. We can offer a one day training course to provide that competence in house giving you flexibility and cost savings.
Equipment that is used in a harsh environment should be tested more frequently than equipment that is less likely to become damaged or unsafe, perhaps once every six months. Equipment which does not get used in hazardous or harsh environments could be tested less often, perhaps once every 2-3 years for fixed office equipment.
It is good practice to assess how often equipment being used for work purposes should be tested, write down your findings, make sure the testing is carried out, and write down the results of the tests.
