appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical

If in any doubt about electrical safety,
contact a qualified electrician.

Inspect the charger plug, cable and connector for wear and damage to
ensure items are safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
