Electrical Safety Policy

8. Follow-up work

8.1 We will ensure there is a process in place for the management of any follow-up works required following the completion of a periodic inspection and test of an electrical installation.

8.2 We will ensure there is a process in place to collate and store all EICRs and associated records and certification of completed remedial works.

8.3 We will endeavour to repair all Code 1 (C1) and Code 2 (C2) defects identified by an electrical installation inspection and test at the time of the check, to produce a satisfactory EICR. Where this is not possible, we will make the installation safe and return to complete the required remediation works within 28 days to ensure a satisfactory EICR is produced.

8.4 We will, as a minimum, make safe and/or where possible repair all Code 1 (C1) and Code 2 (C2) defects identified by an electrical installation inspection/test. Any further remedial works for Code 2 defects will be completed within 28 working days and an EICR will be issued stating that the installation is in a satisfactory condition. Code 3 (C3) type works will be referred back to the internal mechanical and electrical team to determine what further works, if any, are required.
