Are you a Commercial property owner? Do you own offices, retail, industrial, leisure or healthcare businesses in Hereford? Then you need to request ElectricsFixed to carry out a Commercial EICR for you.
What is a Commercial EICR?
A Commercial EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is generated post inspection and testing of your business premises electrical systems. It will give you peace of mind that they are well maintained, have been installed correctly and above all they are safe. Holding a Commercial EICR for your Hereford business premises will prove that your business is compliant with the Electricity & Work Regulations Act of 1989 and also the Health & Safety at Work Act of 1974.
Failing to hold a Commercial EICR, in the event of any accident or injury you and your company could be held liable for any damages.
What does a Commercial EICR comprise of?
ElectricsFixed will attend your business premises in Hereford in order to carry out your Commercial EICR and will inspect and test your hard wiring electrical system. With a combination of visual checks and circuit testing this will provide us with the information we need in order to advise you of any out of date or incorrect installations, signs of wear and tear or even damage and any malfunctions that have shown up.
How often will a Commercial EICR need to be carried out?
The frequency very much depends very much on the type of commercial property you have in Hereford. For example if your commercial business is in a retail unit or office then ElectricsFixed would have to recommend your Commercial EICR was carried out every five years. However if you ran a factory for arguments sake this would need to be carried out more regularly.
These are not fixed deadlines more guidelines, but ElectricsFixed will suggest a retest frequency after we have carried out your initial testing.
Why is a Commercial EICR more important/ frequent than a domestic one?
As previously mentioned factories and industrial style business premises require a Commercial EICR more often and the reason being is that these types of industries are more likely to suffer from devasting fires. Fires can rip through premises like these at a scarily fast rate and this is as a result of them containing things like dust and flammables. Electricals are also put through their paces in this style of environment and being switch on for long periods of time with the potential to overheat and generally a higher level of wear and tear is put upon them.
Without a Commercial EICR in place at your business premises in Hereford, in the event of any damages being caused it is possible your insurance company will not pay out. Something that ElectricsFixed can carry out on your behalf will not only give you the reassurance that your premises electricals are safe but also that you are fully compliant.
So don’t put it off any longer, have the knowledge and confidence that you have done your upmost you keep your commercial business safe and call ElectricsFixed today on 01432 629050 and let’s get your report completed!
