Different types of electrical appliances are subject to different kinds of uses. From a computer on a desk which rarely gets moved, through to a guitar amp, pedal board or PA system which is regularly moved, setup and packed down. Construction equipment is generally subject to more wear and tear by the pure nature of the surroundings and environment.
Risk assessments provide a key cornerstone in the service of electrical equipment and should be modified to suit using the following as considerations:
Competencies of users
Environment the equipment is used.
Movement of equipment
Any existing RA systems for electrical Safety
Consideration for HASAW Act 1974, PUWER 1998
Use of guidance as laid out in IET for inservice equipment
The below table will be updated when revision 5 of the Code of practice for in service of electrical equipment is released
