The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 regulates the duties an employer has regarding the safekeeping of workers in the workplace.
Employers are generally considered to have a duty of care towards their employees to ensure all electrical hazards are identified, documented, and controlled. The person or entity in charge of the electrical equipment on the workplace must keep a record of where the electrical hazards are and who could be affected by them, as well as what precautions have been taken to mitigate their risk.
