Industries such as construction, demolition, and mining are required to have their appliances tested and tagged every 3 months.
Employers of commercial and industrial business establishments do have a duty of care to ensure the safety of their employees, meaning that if someone was hurt by an appliance that wasn’t tested and unsafe, they could be found liable.
Because of this, it’s the employer’s responsibility to have all portable electrical appliances tested.
