Hi all,
Firstly, apologies if this thread is in the incorrect area of the forums.
I'm currently undertaking a degree in Health & Safety - I'm about to begin an assignment in which a portable generator was housed in a confined space, which, ultimately led to the death of an individual through carbon monoxide poisoning.
Would anybody be able to help in answering some questions;
Do portable generators have to be PA Tested?
Do portable generators have to be installed by a qualified tradesman (i.e. similar to gas engineers etc)?
I understand that generators come under the PUWER.
Any advice appreciated - thanks,
Griz.
