Safety Information
Electrical Safety
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner to check this electrical product before use to ensure it is
safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets, etc for signs of wear or damage. You must ensure this risk of
electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A residual current circuit breaker
(RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend a residual current device is
used (RCD). An RCD is particularly important for mobile devices that are connected to a supply without an
RCCB. Any fault rectification or electrical work including the connection of a plug must be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
You must also comply with electrical safety requirements including the Electricity at Work Act 1989 which
requires portable electrical appliances used on business premises be PAT tested annually. The Health & Safety at
Work Act 1974 places responsibility for safe condition of electrical appliances upon owners. Power cables and
plugs should always be regularly inspected for safety. If in doubt about electrical safety, you must consult a qualified
electrician.
