Electrical testing and safety assessment
29 April 2014
Seaward will be using Safety & Health Expo 2014 to showcase how its latest innovations in maintaining electrical safety at work can be integrated as part of a broader, risk-based health and safety management approach.

In line with recent HSE and IET guidance, Seaward’s new Apollo 600 is said to establish a new approach to portable appliance testing. The multipurpose tester is equipped with onboard risk assessment tools to assist the user take proportionate response to the inspection and testing of electrical equipment.
In addition, the Apollo 500 and Apollo 600 testers can create special user defined documentation to record and store all the vital information associated with other workplace health and safety assessments.
For example, user generated forms can be created for the workplace inspections and testing associated with legionnaires disease, fire alarm systems, the condition of fire extinguishers emergency lighting, ladders and access systems and all other critical safety matters.
This feature is included alongside a comprehensive suite of electrical tests and a high quality digital camera that enables images taken during visual inspections to be tagged against assessments for full record keeping and traceability purposes.
Apollo 600 and the PATGuard3 program form part of a comprehensive range of test instrumentation, software and accessories that are designed to enable dutyholders to maintain the electrical safety of all appliances in the workplace.
