"It is the Duty holder for risk assessment to assess the risk of harm to the employee regardless of where they work from. They must take into consideration when assessing the frequency of use and the environment they are working in. This includes working on building sites or employees working out of their own home or office. It is up to the employer if they are providing equipment or are subcontracting to make sure their equipment is electrically compliant and safe to use. Dorset Pat testing offer a bespoke annual maintenance package for employers, that includes an annual inspection, documented report and working evaluation.
