The Health and safety at work Act 1974 puts a duty of care upon both employer and employee to ensure the safety of all persons using the work premises. This includes the self-employed.
The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) places such an obligation in the following circumstances:
✔ Where appliances are used by employees.
✔ Where the public may use appliances in establishments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc.
✔ Where appliances are supplied or hired.
✔ Where appliances are repaired or serviced.
The level of inspection and testing required is dependant upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty, which is in turn dependant upon the type of appliance, the nature of its use and the environment in which it is used.
