Employer's obligation

The employer is obliged to ensure that all measures geared
towards the prevention of accidents, industrial diseases, labor-
related health risks are taken and measures towards making the
workplace fit for people to work in are carried out. Electrical
engineering in Germany is subject to the accident prevention
regulations of the trade association "Electrical Plant and Equip-
ment as under BGV A2" (previously VBG 4). In all other countries
the applicable national regulations or acts or decrees are to be
adhered to.
Basic rules
The employer is bound to ensure that all electrical equipment and
operating material is set up, modified and maintained by skilled
electricians only or under the guidance and supervision of a
skilled electrician in accordance with electrical engineering prin-
ciples. Furthermore, the employer must ensure that all electrical
equipment and operating material is operated in keeping with
electrical engineering principles.
If a piece of electrical equipment or operating material is found to
be defective, i. e. it does not or no longer complies with electrical
engineering principles, the employer must ensure that the fault is
rectified immediately and, in the event that imminent danger exists,
also ensure that the electrical equipment or the electrical operating
material is notiused.
Tests (taking Germany as an example)
•
The employer must ensure that all electrical equipment and
operating material is tested to see if it is in proper working
order:
1. Before starting up for the first time and, after any
modification or repair work, before the restart by a
skilled electrician or under the guidance and supervision of
a skilled electrician. A test prior to initial start up is not
necessary, if the employer has received confirmation from
the manufacturer or constructor stating that the electrical
equipment and operating material has been produced in
accordance with relevant accident prevention regulations.
2. At specific time intervals. The periods are to be mea-
sured such that faults that occur, ones which must be
expected to occur, are determined in good time.
•
The test is to take the electrical engineering principles relating
hereto into account.
•
Upon request of the trade association a test manual is to be
maintained into which specific entries are made.
