Electrical Devices Policy Writers

What are Electrical Devices Policies?

Electrical devices policies set out how organisations manage the safe use, maintenance and monitoring of electrical equipment in the workplace.

Electrical devices, if not used correctly, can present risks such as electric shock, burns, equipment failure and fire. A clear policy ensures that devices are suitable for their intended use, properly maintained and operated by competent individuals.

What Do Electrical Devices Policies Cover?

An electrical devices policy typically includes:

• Risk assessments before introducing or using electrical devices

• Safe use requirements for office equipment, tools, appliances and specialist machinery

• Procedures for portable appliance testing (PAT) and regular inspections

• Requirements for reporting faults, damage or unsafe conditions

• Responsibilities of employees in using equipment safely and not overloading circuits

• Guidance on safe charging and storage of electrical items, including batteries

• Maintenance and repair arrangements carried out by qualified personnel only

• Procedures for isolating or removing defective devices from use

• Links to health and safety, fire prevention, PAT and IT security policies

A clear policy helps ensure that staff understand the risks linked to electrical devices and follow safe practices when using them.

It also ensures compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which place duties on employers to maintain safe electrical systems and equipment.

By actively managing electrical device safety, organisations can reduce the risk of accidents, protect staff and property, and demonstrate a strong commitment to workplace safety and regulatory compliance.
