November 2020 - Newsletter

The wonderful team at Electrical Safety UK Limited has been having a think about…. Christmas…. (There we said it! Even though its only November) but it’s for a good reason.

As a company through the pandemic, we have struggled like everyone but have been fortunate where so many others haven’t. So many have lost their jobs, their businesses, & struggle to put food on the table. We got thinking about our office Secret Santa & the fact that it would be difficult to share our presents whilst most are still working from home. Then we got thinking about kids that may not receive a present this year, or parents that can’t afford it. So we have decided to donate our Secret Santa money to an excellent cause.

Hallam FM's Cash for Kids Mission Christmas aims to make sure that every child in our area will wake up on Christmas Day with at least 1 gift under the tree, even more so this year with so many more families unexpectedly facing poverty due to COVID. Over 100,000 families have applied for a donation of a gift this year. Maybe we could bring a smile to one or two of those children.

In this blog, our Compliance Director, Andrew Linley, explores the legal status of BS7671 and how it can support Duty Holders in the event of prosecution or legal action being taken against them.

Inspection and testing can refer to many different situations at all voltage levels. This blog focuses on electrical safety inspection and testing in relation to low voltage systems and includes requirements for electrical installations and also the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment.

In the past few months we have delivered many virtual training sessions for clients with many more booked in the coming months.

Our tutors utilise Microsoft Teams as their preferred platform for the delivery of training, but any platform can be utilised if your company prefers a different one. We ask each delegate to join and interact in the session by using their video camera, it is simply like being in the room, whilst maintaining a flexible and engaging environment.

Our training courses can be delivered entirely virtually from the training session, delegate interaction, role-based learning through to online assessment and examinations. Allowing Employees whether, still working or furloughed, to maintain skills or upskill during this unprecedented time.
