Portable Appliance Testing

PAT or Portable Appliance testing is the process in which electrical items are checked to ensure they are safe for use and comply with the rules set out under the Electricity at Work Act 1989. The process of PAT involves a visual inspection of the item along with a series of electronic tests which are carried out using the appropriate equipment. Once these inspections are completed a report is produced to the client that outlines the condition of all appliances tested and if they are safe for use. Any faults found on an appliance will be outlined within the test report.

The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) places an obligation on employers and Landlords who supply electrical appliances in the following circumstances:

1. Where appliances are used by employees
2. Appliances used by the public in establishments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc
3. Where appliances are supplied or hired
4. Where appliances are repaired or serviced

We understand that day to day work can take up a great deal of time and Safety can easily be over looked. This, however, in the eyes of the law will not be an adequate excuse if any injury ever resulted from an electrical fault. The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances. We try to reduce the risk of harm by carrying out these tests and ensure your obligation towards Electrical safety is fulfilled.
