Earth Continuity Testing:

All buildings and premises in general have exposed conductive parts that may or may not form part of the electrical installation. These exposed parts would be the metal covers of appliances, plugs, switches, machinery and equipment or even the steel structure of a building. It is a requirement that all exposed conductive parts of an installation be earthed and bonded together to form what is known as an equipotential earthed system. This is done to eliminate any chance of the exposed conductive part to become live thus posing a threat to safety of people operating in that environment. We can test all exposed parts of an installation to ensure these are effectively earthed and safe to touch.
