Example: A local company provided and maintained water cooler/dispensers for offices and factories. They were very proficient at they did and operated to the highest standards (I didn’t realise how often these things needed servicing to avoid contamination). However, they were having to hire an electrician for every new install when all that was needed was a connection to be made to an existing fused spur. These costs were adding up so they approached me for help. The solution was really quite simple; I provided a one-day course for their engineers in Safe Isolation so they were able to check if a supply was “Live” or “Dead” and trained them in how to make connections to a fused spur along with general good practice and safe working techniques. I carried out a simple written and practical test to prove that training had taken place and competence in that task had been achieved. A certificate of Training and Competence was issued to all attendees so compliance with the Electricity At Work Regulations has been achieved. The Cooler company were satisfied that good practice was being maintained and customers could be assured that EAWR was been complied with.
