Electrical Safety and the Law describes the hazards and risks from the use of electricity, explaining with the help of case studies and accident statistics the types of accidents that occur and how they can be prevented by the use of safe installations, equipment and working practices. It describes the British legislation on the safety of electrical systems and electrotechnical machinery control systems, much of which stems from European Directives and which will therefore be affected by the UK’s decision to leave the EU (Brexit), and the main standards and guidance that can be used to secure compliance with the law. There are detailed descriptions covering the risks and preventive measures associated with electrical installations, construction sites, work near underground cables and overhead power lines, electrical equipment and installations in explosive atmospheres, electrical testing and electrotechnical control systems. Duty holders’ responsibilities for designing, installing, and maintaining safe systems are explained, as well as their responsibilities for employing competent staff. The fifth edition has been substantially updated to take account of considerable changes to the law, standards and guidance; it has been expanded to include: a new chapter on the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act; a new chapter describing landlords’ legal responsibilities for electrical safety in private rented properties and social housing; a new chapter on the Electricity Safety Quality and Continuity Regulations; new information on offences, penalties, sentencing guidelines, and relevant case law; a description of the main requirements of BS 7671:2008 and other principal standards, many of which have been amended in recent years; new cases studies to illustrate the hazards and risks; information on changes to GB’s health and safety system.

This document sets out operational guidance on electrical safety requirements for high voltage systems in healthcare premises. It is intended to assist in meeting the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 which detail the precautions to be taken against risk of death or personal injury from electricity in work activities. This document replaces and supersedes all previous versions of Health Technical Memorandum 2021 'Safety code for high voltage systems'.

This document replaces and supersedes all previous versions of Health Technical Memorandum 2020 - Safety code for low voltage systems. On cover & title page: Electrical services

Creating a safe workplace prevents injuries, reduces service interruptions, protects capital investment, and increases operations uptime. Based on NFPA 70E and OSHA requirements, The Electrical Safety Program Book provides the detailed blueprint you need to develop a program that maximizes electrical safety--and the related benefits it generates. This book, which converts OSHA regulations into an effective working plan, is arranged in a logical order to make you aware of the issues involved and to provide guidance and resources to resolve these issues. In addition to auditing and budgeting considerations, the Program Book covers administrative guidelines concerning setup basics for electrical safety programs, potential procedures and plans, training, and implementation techniques.
