Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Down to earth

27th June 2017

At MS Electrical Services we’ve seen our fair share of horror stories and we’re rarely surprised by what we encounter, but sometimes we still uncover issues that leave even us dumbfounded.

A recent PAT test and fixed wire test in Cambridge threw up a number of issues which not only shocked us but could also have led to significant injury and even death. These images show a number of neglected plugs and sockets, with one plug even having had the earth disconnected and therefore serving no purpose, along with some worn wiring.

MS Electrical Services offers PAT testing and fixed wire testing in Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket, and we specialise in helping you ensure that your place of work is safe for your employees and visitors. Should you have any concerns regarding any aspect of electrical safety, please call us on 01223 850301 / 01353 665106 or request a quotation.
