Landlords may face fines for failing to possess a valid EICR certificate, while businesses can be fined for demonstrating negligence. This is due to the significant legislation about providing a safe environment for workers, visitors and the public following the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and also the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989). Not having a valid EICR certificate can lead to penalties, and more importantly, it can put your tenants or employees at risk.
