Dear all, I am trying to brush up on my knowledge of electrical safety testing requirements and Health and Safety etc. I know that electrical equipment in the workplace is tested regularly using the appropriate standards under the requirements of the Health and Safety at work act etc. I also know that medical electrical safety equipment is tested regularly to EN60601 but I wasn't sure what legislation requires us to do this, is the H and S act? Further to this if it is H and S act what regulations cover equipment used in a community setting but still owned by Health Board? Obviously I think routine electrical safety testing is best and accepted practice but I wondered if anyone could shed some light on the legislation so I don't have to trawl the internet and HSE for relevant info. Look forward to hearing the replies. Gareth Adkins B. Eng. MSc. PGDip IPEM. Rehabilitation Engineer Mobility and Rehabilitation Service Woodend Hospital Eday Road Aberdeen AB15 6LS
