Electrical safety inspection

Adequate touch protection prevents accidental contact with live parts of electrical equipment and machinery, so that even in the event of a malfunction, no electric shock will occur.

An electrical safety inspection is a detailed inspection process designed to assess the condition and safety of electrical equipment and systems. The inspection covers various elements of the network, such as wires, switches, fuses, and other devices. The
During this process, experts examine the reliability of the systems and identify potential risks in order to guarantee user safety.

During the inspection, not only visible defects are detected, but hidden problems are also identified, which may pose a serious risk in the long term. When inspecting the electrical network for safety, experts apply the latest regulations and standards.
are used as a basis to guarantee the safe operation of the systems. In addition, the use of state-of-the-art technologies and tools also plays a prominent role in the tests.

The obligation and frequency of electrical safety inspections are laid down in legislation.
In Hungary, this is Decree No. 40/2017 (XII. 4.) of the Ministry of National Economy prescribed by the Occupational Safety and Health Act
related to the law.

  • For employers, in all cases where employees are employed and electric
  • For institutions, companies, factories, offices, shops – that is, all farmers
  • In certain cases private individuals also, for example, in condominiums or rented properties, if required by regulations.

How often should it be done?

  • General rule according to: at least Every 3 years an electrical safety inspection must be carried out.
  • High-risk workplaces (e.g., wet, dusty, explosive environments, construction sites) more frequently – generally annually – necessary.
  • For certain special equipment or environments, the time interval may be specified by separate legislation or standards.

Lightning protection inspection

Lightning protection inspection is an inspection of lightning protection equipment (new, modified, expanded, or existing external lightning protection and internal lightning protection) based on instrumental measurements.

Protection of man-made structures against lightning strikes and prevention of their accidental, fire-causing effects. Lightning protection must be checked in accordance with the standards and regulations in force at the time of installation. The inspection must also be carried out in the event of reconstruction, extension, damage (e.g. caused by lightning) or any repairs that may affect the lightning protection effectiveness of buildings and lightning conductors. 

Lightning protection inspections are required by the National Fire Protection Regulations (OTSZ) and Fire Protection Technical Guidelines (TvMI).

The owners or operators of the facility (whether industrial, commercial, public education, etc.) or their representatives are responsible for carrying out the required periodic inspections. It is important to note that the obligation to perform lightning protection inspections is not limited to the inspection itself and the preparation of the inspection report, but also includes the immediate correction of any faults and deficiencies that are discovered. 

Time intervals

Lifting equipment inspection

 The operator of the lifting equipment is responsible for ensuring that the lifting equipment remains in a safe condition, that periodic inspections of the lifting equipment are carried out, and that maintenance is performed professionally and regularly.

According to Decree 47/1999. (VIII.4.) on the Safety Regulations for Lifting Equipment, the operator of lifting equipment is obliged to ensure that the lifting equipment remains in a safe condition, that periodic inspections of the lifting equipment are carried out, and that maintenance is performed professionally and regularly. A lifting equipment expert is authorized to perform periodic inspections of lifting equipment.

Periodic safety reviews are required at least every 5 years.

Persons with specialist training and occupational safety qualifications, persons authorized to do so by specific legislation, or accredited institutions are authorized to carry out inspections.

The machine operator is obliged to carry out the periodic inspection specified in the Lifting Machine Safety Regulations, which consists of several parts:

  • Structural investigations
  • Tests prior to commissioning
  • The main investigations

Lifting machine commissioning

The purpose of commissioning lifting equipment is to ensure that the work equipment meets the conditions necessary for safe working.

The operator of the lifting machine is responsible for putting new machines into operation, which is a multi-step task. Purchased and already commissioned machines may only be used in the course of organized work after the operator has issued a written order for the operation of this equipment in accordance with the Occupational Safety Act. However, the order to put the machine into operation condition, that the conduct a preliminary inspection of the machine from an occupational safety perspective and the requirements of this examination lifting equipment complies.

The commissioning of lifting equipment is a specialized occupational safety and health activity that requires the involvement of an occupational safety specialist.
The following should be taken into account during the examination:

  • whether the machine complies with the conditions for safe working that do not endanger health,
  • whether it has the manufacturer's documentation, declaration of conformity, certificates
  • and the working conditions and environment must also be examined.

Our colleague will review the machine documentation in consultation with your contact person, which is a prerequisite for commissioning.

We carry out all necessary inspections required by the Occupational Safety Act and related regulations and record them in a report.

Fire safety standard review

The fundamental purpose of inspections is to eliminate the risk of fire or explosion caused by electrical equipment. In addition, electrical equipment that does not pose a fire hazard but does pose an accident hazard must also be identified.

By the National Fire Protection Regulations required periodic fire safety inspection It covers residential buildings, community, industrial, agricultural, and storage facilities, mobile homes, exhibitions, fairs, and other temporary or relocatable structures, as well as electrical equipment in ports.

When is a review necessary?

a) circuits with a rated voltage not exceeding 1000 V for alternating current and 1500 V for direct current,
b) with the exception of the internal circuits of appliances, any circuit which is supplied from electrical installations with a voltage not exceeding 1000 V but which operates at a voltage exceeding 1000 V, in particular discharge lamp lighting, circuits for electrostatic filter equipment, telecommunications, signaling systems, control fixed energy transmission, high-voltage power supply networks, and

has the electrical equipment inspected for fire safety and has any deficiencies detected remedied or certified.

In the event of a conversion or change of use, the operator of the equipment is obliged to have a fire safety standard review carried out if:

(2) For the purposes of fire safety inspections, the calendar day shall be taken into account.

(3) In the event of a conversion or change of use subject to a site or operating permit or notification, the operator of the electrical equipment located in the premises or building shall have a fire safety inspection carried out if the legislation stipulates more frequent inspections for the new use.

Inspection of hand tools

Identifying faults in electric hand tools resulting from use and aging in order to prevent electric shock accidents.

Electrical appliances that are held in the hand during use or are easily movable when connected to the mains are classified as hand tools. Hand tools can malfunction due to use and wear and tear, so it is necessary to inspect them to ensure that hidden faults or faults caused by negligence are repaired. Typically, broken casings, damaged insulation, and broken plugs cause most electric shock accidents, which endanger not only the employee working with them, but also those in the vicinity.

The owners or operators of the facility (whether industrial, commercial, public education, etc.) or their representatives are responsible for ensuring that hand tools are inspected periodically as required. It is important to note that the obligation to inspect is not limited to the inspection itself and the preparation of the inspection report, but also includes the immediate correction of any faults and deficiencies that are discovered. 

In order to prevent accidents, the annual review identifies any faults and makes recommendations in a report on how to remedy them.
