UK construction-safety guidance by the Riskora Editorial Team
Most of the work involved in electrical work in hospitals is straightforward — it is the documentation that delays the start date for small contractors. Electric shock from contact with low-voltage mains can cause cardiac arrest, while contact with high-voltage equipment can cause fatal burns from arc flash even without direct contact. For electrical work in hospitals specifically, NHS Health Technical Memoranda (HTMs) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require specific risk assessments for electrical work in healthcare settings. A Risk Assessment written specifically for this activity is the only practical way to evidence that the risks have been thought through before work starts.

Working out of the North East, a small business owner is preparing to mobilise next week and still needs a defensible Risk Assessment to send across to the principal contractor. They open the builder, select the preset that matches electrical work in hospitals, edit the controls to reflect what they will actually do on site, add their company logo, and download the document for the project pack. The finished document explicitly addresses outage affecting life-support or critical care equipment, which the principal contractor would otherwise expect to see written into the pack.
