Electrical Safety and the Law describes the hazards and risks from
the use of electricity, explaining with the help of case studies
and accident statistics the types of accidents that occur and how
they can be prevented by the use of safe installations, equipment
and working practices. It describes the British legislation on the
safety of electrical systems and electrotechnical machinery control
systems, much of which stems from European Directives and which
will therefore be affected by the UK's decision to leave the EU
(Brexit), and the main standards and guidance that can be used to
secure compliance with the law. There are detailed descriptions
covering the risks and preventive measures associated with
electrical installations, construction sites, work near underground
cables and overhead power lines, electrical equipment and
installations in explosive atmospheres, electrical testing and
electrotechnical control systems. Duty holders' responsibilities
for designing, installing, and maintaining safe systems are
explained, as well as their responsibilities for employing
competent staff. The fifth edition has been substantially updated
to take account of considerable changes to the law, standards and
guidance; it has been expanded to include: a new chapter on the
Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act; a new chapter
describing landlords' legal responsibilities for electrical safety
in private rented properties and social housing; a new chapter on
the Electricity Safety Quality and Continuity Regulations; new
information on offences, penalties, sentencing guidelines, and
relevant case law; a description of the main requirements of BS
7671:2008 and other principal standards, many of which have been
amended in recent years; new cases studies to illustrate the
hazards and risks; information on changes to GB's health and safety
system.
