Ensuring the safety of electrical appliances
A new electrical tester from Seaward is designed to ensure that cleaning equip- ment and other electrical appliances used in the work- place do not pose a danger to users.
This responsibility is shared by companies providing cleaning services, to ensure that electrical cleaning equipment is safe and does not pose a hazard, and also by facilities managers, caretakers and janitorial staff who often must ensure the safety of electrical equipment used in offices and other workplaces as part of a wider health and safety responsibility. To help them do so the new handheld PrimeTest 250 is the first electrical tester in its class to provide all the electrical tests required for compliance with the IEE Code of Practice for the ‘In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment’ - and also includes a host of other features.
These additional test capabilities include an RCD trip time test, a 3-phase leakage test and a 250V DC insulation test suitable for testing sensitive electrical appliances and surge protected leads.
The unique range of tests incorporated in this
meets this requirement and also comes with a special accessory to allow the RCD test function to operate without tripping any RCDs in the mains supply. In addition, earth
lightweight and highly versatile instrument means that workplaces appliances can be tested using long life battery power. However, the capability of the new tester also extends to powered earth leakage and touch current measurement tests when required.
The inclusion of the RCD test is in keeping with the latest IEE Code that, when extension leads or multiway adaptors are fitted with an RCD, the operation of the RCD should be checked using a test instrument to determine that the trip time is within specified limits. The new PrimeTest 250
continuity and earth leakage on 3-phase equipment can be tested using a special in- line adaptor supplied with the instrument. As a result, 3-phase industrial plant and equipment used in factories, workshops, schools and colleges can all be tested safely and effectively. Universal graphics on the case of the PrimeTest 250 guides the user through the test modes available and a single push button operation enables the appropriate sequence of electrical tests to be activated.
All electrical safety tests are carried out against pre-set limits and a large display area gives a clear pass or fail indication, as well as digital test result values for those that require them.
The Primetest 250 forms part of a comprehensive range of portable appliance testers from Seaward that comprise 11 different models and test specifications to meet all workplace electrical safety testing needs.

Online video demonstrates cost saving systems
A new film launched by Tork manufacturer SCA shows how Tork products and services can make life easier for the facilities services manager. ‘An introduction to Tork’ demonstrates the time and cost savings that can be made using Tork systems.
“At Tork we understand that labour accounts for around 70% of a facilities services manager’s costs,” said SCA Tissue Europe product and market manager Charlotte Branwhite. “This means that for the FSC, cleaning time is literally money. Tork washroom, wiper and napkin systems have been designed to save time spent refilling dispensers and transporting refills which means that facilities services managers can make substantial cost savings by switching to Tork. Tork systems can help save staff time in any number of ways. Higher capacity systems means less time spent refilling, and people will use less of a Tork product that is made from higher quality paper - particularly where this is housed in a smart system that naturally limits consumption.”
An introduction to Tork also demonstrates the sustainability of Tork solutions - a key driver for end-customers seeking to contract an FSC for their services. It can be downloaded via the Tork UK website at:
