PAT Testing or Portable Appliance Testing is an important part
of any Health & Safety policy. There is a legal duty for all
employers to make sure that all equipment provided for staff in the
course of their employment is safe and will not cause harm.
Every year we carry out regular inspections and testing of
clients' electrical equipment. We constantly find up to 1 in 10
failed items in the first year, which are either removed or rectified
at time of testing.
PAT Testing is the method used to help employers comply with
the legal requirements in England and Wales.
All portable electrical equipment is subject to damage during
use. This damage could render the equipment dangerous to the user.
Without a regular programme of testing and inspection, you have not taken
reasonable steps to ensure the safety of users, which could result in your
company being at risk of possible court action.
