Sundown Disco & Karaoke Roadshow operates an electrical safety testing policy whereby all equipment we used is regularly tested for electrical safety.

What The Law Says:

Section 2 of The Health and Safety at Work Act requires that ‘employers ensure the provision and maintenance of plant and systems of work that are, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health’.

The requirement to test portable appliances is derived from Regulation 4 (2) which demands that ‘as may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far is reasonably practicable, such danger’.  It is generally accepted that the method by which equipment is accurately assessed as to the need for or effectiveness of, maintenance (i.e.: repair, replacement, etc) is by means of regular inspection and testing of the equipment.  Similarly, there is a requirement under Regulation 4 (1) that  ‘all systems shall at all times be of such construction as to prevent, so far is reasonably practicable danger’.  Therefore, electrical equipment should be inspected and/or tested after any maintenance activity or repair, in order that is confirmed safe to use.

It is clear then, that all types of electrical equipment in all work situations (and in some situations where the public involved ) are covered by this requirement to inspect and test.

We fully endeavour to meet the criteria of the Health & safety at Work Act and maintain awareness of amendments, and can provide fully traceable certification on the equipment that we use.  in addition our DJ's are instructed to follow the guidelines laid down in the government information document:- Electrical Safety For Entertainers.
