FOCUS: HEALTH & SAFETY FEATURE


BAXI HEATING CHOOSES MARTINDALE FOR ELECTRICAL SAFETY


M


artindale Electric – manufacturer of electrical test equipment – has supplied Baxi Heating with testers for


checking appliance wiring and earthing, together with locking off devices to ensure circuits can be safely isolated before carrying out any work. The tools keep their gas service engineers safe when installing and servicing heating equipment and are essential for achieving compliance with the latest Gas Safe Register guidance TB118 2018. The changes mean new test procedures are now required to


keep service engineers safe from electrical hazards. In addition to carrying out safe isolation procedures to prove that circuits are dead and locked off, the new guidance now requires verification of mains earthing. Founded in 1866, Baxi Heating is a part of BDR Thermea, one


of Europe’s largest manufacturers and distributors of domestic and commercial water and space heating systems. As an industry leader with more than 6,400 service engineers worldwide, Baxi Heating is at the forefront of improving gas service and installation engineers’ safety in the field, in accordance with the latest changes to TB118. After researching the market, Baxi Heating has provided 250


of its trainers and engineers with a range of Martindale Electric equipment, which includes the EZ650 earth loop and polarity checker for socket and spur testing. The EZ650 simplifies the process for identifying a satisfactory earth, by combining a basic socket tester with an earth loop check that uses clear red / green LEDs, making it easy to interpret the results and see whether the earth loop value is within acceptable limits. The


EZ650 socket and loop tester can be used on both 13A sockets and fused spurs to quickly identify a hazardous earth before starting work. This approach offers a simple solution to complying with TB118. For more information, please contact Martindale Electric on 01923 441717 or visit: www.martindale-electric.co.uk
