Guideline Safety Portable Electrical Equipment

Guideline on Managing Safety in the Use of Portable Electrical Equipment in the Workplace

This Guideline describes safe practices that should be followed by those involved with portable electrical equipment.

The use of portable electrical equipment is a common requirement in the workplace. Such equipment ranges from desk-lamps in offices to drills and grinders on construction sites.

All of these devices are potential safety hazards and therefore controls and safeguards need to be put in place to deal with the associated risks.

The degree of maintenance, and this includes inspection and test, varies from country to country in line with national legislation and codes of practice. In general, there is a requirement for employers to take the necessary steps that will minimise risk to employees, in so far as it is reasonably practicable.

It would appear that in the majority of countries, systematic inspection and test of equipment by competent persons does not take place. However, in some countries the practice of periodic inspection and test has been instituted. The frequency of periodic inspections and tests can vary between weekly and 4 years.

The frequency is determined by the associated risk e. g. whether the equipment is office-based; or in use on a construction site; what protection does the electrical installation provide; and also on the level of defects found as a result of carrying out the process of inspection and test.

The purpose of this guideline is to promote a best practice approach to the maintenance of portable electrical equipment. It contains common elements from individual national practices that are considered to be best practice. Examples of national legislation / codes of practice of participating countries are included in the Appendices.
