Inspection & Testing ... why do I need to?

The simple answer is 'Duty of Care'

As an employer, or landlord, there are numerous Health & Safety legal requirements you must meet. These are generalised by the phrase 'Duty of Care' Employers have a Duty Of Care to provide a safe environment for those associated with their business – both employees and visitors to their workplace Similarly, landlords have a Duty of Care to provide a safe environment for their tenants. Implementing Electrical Inspection & Testing will demonstrate a commitment to complying with your Health & Safety obligations.
