WHY

You don't need us to tell you the safety and economic consequences of neglect or lack of switchgear maintenance. However, current legislation puts stringent legal obligations on companies to ensure electrical safety within the workplace. It is perhaps best summarised in "Electrical Safety and the Law, A Guide to compliance" (Ken Oldham Smith, Blackwell Scientific Publications ISBN 063206 0018 )........................

" It is evident that neglecting an installation until an incident occurs and then taking remedial action, is not preventive maintenance and does not comply with the law"

 enough said!

HOW

BS6423-(1983) sets down a logical format for switchgear inspection, preventive maintenance and record keeping. Our operatives between them have over eight decades of extensive hands-on experience with Air Circuit Breakers, fuse-switches and busbar systems of most manufacturers both obsolete and contemporary. This combination of relevant experience and logical format means that you are covered and can amply demonstrate you have fulfilled your obligations under current law
