Health & Safety
Pat testing or portable appliance testing is an important part of any health & safety policy. This site is intended as a guide to both the legal implications and to the technical requirements.
The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers, employees and self-employed persons to comply with the provisions of the regulations and take reasonably practicable steps to ensure that no danger results from the use of such equipment. This in effect requires the implementation of a systematic and regular program of maintenance, inspection and testing. The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) places such an obligation in the following circumstances:
- Where appliances are used by employees.
- Where the public may use appliances in establishments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc.
- Where appliances are supplied or hired.
- Where appliances are repaired or serviced.
The level of inspection and testing required is dependant upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty, which is in turn dependant upon the type of appliance, the nature of its use and the environment in which it is used.
The legislation of specific relevance to electrical maintenance is the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 puts the duty of care upon both the employer and the employee to ensure the safety of all persons using the work premises. This includes the self employed.
The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 states:
“Every employer shall make suitable and sufficient assessment of:
(a) the risks to the health and safety of his employees to which they are exposed whilst at work, and
(b) The risks to ensure the health and safety of persons not in his employment arising out of or in connection with the conduct by him or his undertaking.”
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 states:
“Every employer shall ensure that work equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.”
The PUWER 1998 covers most risks that can result from using work equipment. With respect to risks from electricity, compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 is likely to achieve compliance with the PUWER 1998.
PUWER 1998 only applies to work equipment used by workers at work. This includes all work equipment (fixed, transportable or portable) connected to a source of electrical energy.
PUWER does not apply to fixed installations in a building. The electrical safety of these installations is dealt with only by the Electricity at Work Regulations.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 states:
“All systems shall at all times be of such construction as to prevent, so far as reasonably practicable, such danger.”
“As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as reasonably practicable, such danger.”
“‘System’ means an electrical system in which all the electrical equipment is, or may be, electrically connected to a common source of electrical energy and includes such source and such equipment”
“‘Electrical Equipment’ includes anything used, intended to be used or installed for use, to generate, provide, transmit, transform, rectify, convert, conduct, distribute, control, store, measure or use electrical energy.”
Scope of the legislation
It is clear that the combination of the HSW Act 1974, the PUWER 1998 and the EAW Regulations 1989 apply to all electrical equipment used in, or associated with, places of work. The scope extends from distribution systems down to the smallest piece of electrical equipment.
It is clear that there is a requirement to inspect and test all types of electrical equipment in all work situations

Plastering & rendering
Rendering
Good value, fast, efficient, professional – clean and tidy. When you ask Simply Decors Plastering to come and carry out your plastering requirements, you can be sure that your finished project will have smooth lines and crisp corners – and your property or business premises will be left in good order.
Using our own equipment and experienced workers, the company delivers a high quality plastering service to individuals and businesses. The service is intended to meet regulations, helping customers to have reliable, hassle free, clean work completed on their property.
Rendering is 3 parts plastering sand mixed with 1 part cement, with plasticizer and waterproofing agent added to create a waterproof layer for exterior applications.
Plastering
There are several types of plaster, each made for specific applications:
Finishing plaster
This is used for the top and final coat on a wall or ceiling as it produces a fine, smooth finish when it has been polished. This top coat is also known as a ‘skim’ and applying it is called ‘skimming’.
Ensure you select a finishing plaster that is suitable to cover the surface, or if in doubt choose a multi-finish plaster.
- Aim for a coat that is 3mm (⅛in) thick. Drying time will depend on ambient temperatures and airflow. Ensure all areas of plaster are fully dried before doing any decorating, usually 24 hours.
Browning plaster
Use this plaster for the initial backing coats of plaster straight onto porous surfaces such as brick, block or masonry.
- Aim for a thickness of 10mm (⅜in). Allow drying time of 2 hours.
Bonding plaster
This is used for backing coats of plaster that are applied to non-porous surfaces, such as those pre-treated with a PVA bonding agent.
- Aim for a coat that is 10mm (⅜in) thick. Allow 2 hours for it to dry.
‘One-coat’ plaster
A product that claims to be a backing and finishing plaster all in one, which can be applied in a couple of layers. Separate layers of the different types of plaster as listed above are preferred however.
Lime plaster
This is an old fashioned form of plaster, where the binding gypsum is replaced with lime. It is an environmentally friendly plaster, although it is up to three times more expensive than standard plaster, and takes longer to apply.
The plaster is a mix of 1 part lime to 3 parts coarse sand, with 4kg of horse hair added per cubic metre of plaster to form a ‘key’ between layers.
- Always apply to a well wetted wall.
Lime plaster is designed to absorb and evaporate moisture, so do not replace such materials with waterproof cement-based renders as this will encourage penetrating damp to take hold.
- If employing the services of a plasterer, be sure before you hire them that they are experienced in using lime plaster.
Daub
This is one of the earliest forms of wall finish, being made from mud, animal dung and straw. It is applied to a structure of ‘wattle’, or slim interwoven lengths of wood, which provide a structural trellis for the daub to hold on to.
