Electrical safety inspections

An inspection describes what is found; repair scopes are written separately after you approve them.

What this covers

Visual checks of switchboards, earthing, GPOs and smoke-alarm circuits.

Do this first

• Keep clear of sparking fittings, burning smells or water near electrics.
• Do not keep resetting a safety switch or breaker that trips immediately.
• Note which rooms lost power and photograph the switchboard if it is safe.
