Electrical Safety Products and Personal Protective Equipment cannot be visually confirmed as providing the required level of protection, so they are required to be electrically tested at regular intervals to confirm if the insulation is providing adequate protection. Testing and calibration of equipment can be conducted from 2.5kV, up to 300kV to ensure the equipment is fit for purpose and providing the correct uncertainty of measurement as required.

In addition to six monthly Mechanical Inspections and any Electrical boom and liner testing, an Acoustic Emission Test is required on all mobile elevating work platform's fitted with a fibreglass boom (FRP) every 2 years.  The test involves sophisticated equipment to detect any breaks or cracks in fibres as a load is applied and withdrawn over periods of four minutes. As required by AS/NZS 4748 - Acoustic Emission Testing of Fibreglass Insulated Booms on Elevating Work Platforms, this test must be carried out at two yearly intervals or if any damage has occurred through other reasons ie an accident.

In addition to the standard requirement of HSE Act "to take all practicable steps to prevent harm", there are a number of standards  ie AS/NZS 1892 for various types of ladders; each standard details the requirements for use and testing including visual and deflection testing both of which Design Engineering can undertake.
