An electrical fault in a care setting puts vulnerable residents at risk long before it puts an inspector on the doorstep. We survey the whole installation against CQC Regulation 15 and BS 7671 — worked room by room around residents, never through them — and hand you inspection-ready evidence your registered manager can put straight in front of the CQC.
Every Resident Safety Survey™ is scoped and reported against the specific regulations a registered care provider is held to — so the evidence maps directly onto what an inspector asks for.
The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 require premises and equipment to be safe and properly maintained — our report is written to evidence exactly that.
The health technical memorandum for electrical services in healthcare premises — used to scope resilience, essential supplies and distribution for higher-dependency care.
The IET national wiring standard — the fixed installation is inspected and coded against its requirements as part of every survey.
Escape-route and open-area emergency lighting is checked for coverage and duration so residents can be evacuated safely in a mains failure.
Where fire detection shares supplies and containment with the electrical installation, we flag the overlap that feeds your fire risk assessment.
Reg 4(2) requires the fixed system be maintained to prevent danger — the survey is your documented evidence of that duty being met.
We scope the survey to how the home is used and by whom — dependency, mobility and evacuation needs all change what "safe premises" actually means.

No. The whole point of a Resident Safety Survey™ is that it is worked around residents, never through them. We move room by room to a schedule agreed with your registered manager, keep familiar routines intact, and carry out any noisier or higher-disruption work out of hours where needed. Care continues exactly as normal while we survey.
Yes — that is precisely what it is written for. The survey is scoped against CQC Regulation 15 (premises and equipment) under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, cross-referenced to BS 7671 and HTM 06-01, and delivered as an inspection-ready evidence pack your registered manager can put straight in front of an inspector.
Our engineers are safeguarding-aware and experienced in dementia-friendly working. We keep the environment familiar, minimise noise and visual disruption, work with familiar staff present, and time the visit around residents' routines. Dignity and orientation come first — the survey fits around the resident, not the other way round.
Yes. Every engineer entering a care setting is enhanced DBS-checked and briefed on safeguarding before the visit. We can share DBS status and our safeguarding policy with your registered manager ahead of any survey, which many providers keep on file as part of their own compliance record.
The Resident Safety Survey™ includes a BS 7671 condition inspection of the fixed installation, but it goes further — it also covers emergency lighting (BS 5266), the fire-detection supply overlap (BS 5839), and in-service testing of resident equipment to the IET Code of Practice, all mapped onto CQC Regulation 15. It is built to answer an inspector's questions, not just certify the wiring.
