Business owners will know about their responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act (HASAWA). 

 

However, the Electricity at Work Regulations add additional requirements for electrical safety. 

 

Employers must make sure activities at work that use or might be affected by electricity are done safely. Any foreseeable risks must also be assessed and minimised, as far as possible. 

If the power fails at your business premises, you’ll want to be sure your emergency lighting is working properly. 

 

Without it your employees and visitors could be at risk in the dark and unable to find corridors, stairs and exits.
