Posted By apjw can anyone clarify whom is responsible for carrying out consumer unit testing of site cabins should it be; the hire company whom only supply the cabin and dont actually wire it up; or is it the principle contractors/contractors duty to ensure that it is carried out. and at what intervals should it be undertaken? many thanks in advance.

Posted By Chris Bramall i've never known the cabin contractor undertake the testing & Certification of the site cabin distribution unless it has been included within there contract. Normally the Principle Contractor will employ a competent electrical contractor who will install the distribution network to supply all the cabins and will undertake the initial certification. As a temporary installation the distribution network and cabins should be inspected on a three monthly basis.

Posted By Ron Hunter It has to the the contractor on site. The provision & test of a satisfactory earthing of the installation is a key consideration - and surely the contractor's responsibility.
