Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be maintained so far as reasonably practicable to prevent danger. Guidance suggests commercial premises have fixed-wire testing at least every five years, and more often for some uses. In Northern Ireland, fire safety in workplaces is governed by the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, with health and safety enforced by HSENI rather than HSE.
