91Èȱ¬

The intent of this category is to simplify management of electrical safety based on the principles that electrical equipment is safe already (i.e. undergone recent portable appliance testing) and simple user checks are conducted. The key aspect is that systems are simple in design, usually derive power from ordinary domestic style sockets installed in the building and a protective device called a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used for additional protection against electric shock. Examples could be interviews, press launches, small drama shoots or editing work.

Notes for Small and Simple Systems

• All equipment must come from a pre-vetted supplier and should be checked for electrical safety prior to being used (i.e. ‘PAT’ tested).
• The person looking after the small system should have undergone the 91Èȱ¬ Academy 
• Systems need to be checked using a small plug-in style tester, and RCDs checked using the ‘T’ button.
• Although a certificate proving safety of the system is not required with this classification, some venues require some evidence that it has been erected safely.  should be completed if required.
