Is Your Business Electrically Compliant?

When it comes to workplace safety, Compliance in electrics is a vital part of protecting your people, your premises, and your productivity.

At Goom Electrical, we support commercial clients and Housing associations across the UK in meeting their compliance obligations and ensuring their systems, buildings and homes are safe, efficient, and future-ready.

Here are three key electrical compliance tips every business should follow:

1. Schedule Regular EICR Inspections

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) identifies potential faults, deterioration, or safety issues within your electrical systems. For commercial properties, inspections should be carried out at regular, recommended intervals as set out in BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations).

Domestic Properties should be checked every 5 years by Law, under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020)

Staying up to date with inspections is crucial to maintaining compliance and preventing risk.

2. Maintain Accurate Records

Keeping detailed records of all electrical testing, inspections, and remedial work is essential. These documents not only support compliance during audits or insurance reviews, but also help track the ongoing health of your electrical systems and identify recurring issues before they escalate.

3. Use Approved Contractors

Electrical work should always be carried out by NICEIC-approved contractors. This accreditation ensures work is carried out to the highest industry standards and in line with national safety regulations, offering you both protection and peace of mind.

Why It Matters

Electrical compliance isn’t a one-time task — it's an ongoing responsibility. Failing to meet regulatory standards can result in legal penalties, increased insurance risks, and serious safety hazards.
