Body Protected Area inspections are a critical part of electrical safety in medical and healthcare environments. Where electrical installations are used in patient areas, they must be inspected, tested and verified to help ensure patient safety, staff safety, and compliance with the relevant New Zealand electrical standards.
At Honest Electrical, we help medical practices, dental clinics, healthcare providers and treatment facilities make sure their electrical installations are assessed correctly and kept up to standard.
