Electrical Safety Policy

1.1 As a landlord, Gateshead Council is responsible for repairs and maintenance to our homes, communal blocks, and other properties we own and manage, all of which will contain electrical installations, equipment, and portable appliances.

1.2 The key objective of this policy is to ensure our Cabinet, Senior Management Team, employees, partners, and tenants are clear on our legal and regulatory electrical safety obligations. This policy provides the framework our staff and partners will operate within to meet these obligations.
