As the CEO and/or business owner, you carry a lot of responsibility in this respect
Is your organisation well-supplied?
Yes it is, if we’re talking about commitment, team spirit and performance.But it might not be so clear if the question refers to the state of your electrical systems.Things don’t always have to be burned or charred.Indeed, one of Germany’s biggest property insurers has stated that more than 30% of damage to electrical systems can be traced to voltage surges.
Your responsibility.
As the CEO and/or business owner, you carry a lot of responsibility with respect to your employees and colleagues,whose safety should naturally be a top priority.
If an unexpected accident or other incident does occur, your insurance company will be right there with a series of questions:
- Has the electrical system been tested and inspected to VDE standards?
- Do inspections take place at regular intervals?
It is for this reason that there are strict legislative requirements regarding the regular inspection of industrial and commercial premises. In the event of an incident, you must be able to demonstrate that the electrical system was in proper working order.These provisions apply to commercial and industrial premises.
