For quite some time, there has been an unknown between BS7671 and other British safety standards. Duty holders can be placed at risk of non-compliance with EaWR 1989 due to panels being installed, modified, and replaced without any relevant documentation.
This is where a Panel Risk Assessment come in!
Panel Risk Assessments are also:
✔️A way of ensuring that a Duty holder can ensure their workplaces are legal and safe according to EaWR Reg 4(1) & 2.
✔️A simple, effective way of highlighting electrical risks as per the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regs 1999.
✔️An effective audit of existing permit and authorisation to work systems.
⛔Even with a full inspection and testing programme being undertaken, the scope of an EICR does not fully cross over to control equipment as per BS7671⛔
