Frequently asked questions about Danger Notice

When should a danger notice be issued?
A danger notice should be issued whenever an electrician discovers a condition that poses an immediate risk of electric shock, fire, or injury. Common examples include exposed live parts, missing earthing, damaged consumer units, and overloaded circuits.
Is the client legally obliged to act on a danger notice?
The danger notice itself is not legally enforceable, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that electrical systems are maintained to prevent danger. A landlord who ignores a danger notice could face prosecution if a tenant is harmed.
