34 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, 1st November 1991. "The company is aware of
35 the duty imposed by the Electricity at Work regulations to
36 maintain equipment in a safe condition and to ensure that
37 only suitably qualified individuals undertake maintenance
38 or repair of any electrical equipment. No company employee
39 is allowed to carry out any repair or maintenance or than
40 calibration unless they have satisfactorily completed the
41 Applied Equipment Course. Employees are only allowed to
42 carry out those electrical repair and maintenance functions
43 for which they have been trained. Employees who work on
44 electrical equipment have their own personal duty to follow
45 the company training so as not to endanger themselves,
46 fellow employees, customers or any other visitors. All
47 electrical equipment on company premises, whether fixed or
48 portable, will be checked by an independent electrical
49 contractor at least once per annum and any necessary
50 remedial work carried out to ensure that all equipment is
51 maintained in a safe electrical condition. A record of all
52 maintenance and repair work carried out on any equipment
53 provided by means of the equipment service history file, is
54 the restaurant manager's responsibility to ensure that the
55 equipment service history file is correctly maintained. No
56 unauthorised electrical equipment is to be used on or
57 brought into company premises. Electrical installations of
58 equipment must not be tampered with."
