Hi Gavin, certainly. It's equipment used for work purposes so needs to be safe as designated under PUWER and supporting literature.

As an electrical item it is also subject to the Elec at Work Regs so needs to be electrically safe too.

Is it noisy...?

Thanks David,

We have actually just replaced it with a new generator and currently in the process of selling it. I'm completing the Schedule of Specificed steps for the sale of the equipment under HSWA requirements but just wanted to confirm that with someone else for peace at mind.

Thanks again for you help, much appreciated!
