PAT Testing

To comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, it is essential that regular PAT Testing is carried out on any electrical equipment that could cause injury in the workplace.

While many electrical faults can be identified by visual examination, PAT Testing or Portable Appliance Testing is highly effective at identifying defects that you cannot see. When carried out as part of your electrical maintenance system by a qualified electrician, you can be confident that you are providing a safe working environment for your employees.

PAT Testing Rules & Regulations

While there are no fixed guidelines as to how often you should carry out PAT Testing, we recommend that you test larger electrical appliances such as power tools every two years and smaller items such as extension cables and bedside lamps every year. Frequent testing not only reduces the risk of electric shock and fire hazards in the workplace, but it can also lengthen the lifespan of the electrical appliance, so it is a wise investment for businesses of every size.
