Is PAT Testing important?
Having your equipment professionally tested by one of our engineers helps to prevent injuries or even deaths at your workplace. The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations Act place a legal responsibility on employers, employees and self-employed persons to comply with the provisions of the regulations and take reasonably practicable steps to ensure that no danger results from the use of such equipment. This in effect requires the implementation of a systematic and regular program of maintenance, inspection and testing.
Why should I get my appliances tested?
The Health and Safety Executive states that there are 1,000 accidents in a work place reported every year involving shocks and burns, 30 of which are fatal. The Electricity at Work (EAW) Regulations 1989 therefore requires employers and self-employed persons to take reasonable, practical steps to minimise the risks involved with using electrical appliances. The easiest and most comprehensive way to do this is by way of Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing).
In today's 'where there is a blame there is a claim' culture PAT Testing is the best way to both satisfy the laws demands and ensure that you are doing your bit to look after your employees. Below are just some of the reasons why you should get your appliances tested:
- To comply with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
- To comply with The Electricity at Work Regulations
- To satisfy your Insurance Company
- To minimise the risk of fire and injury caused by electrical appliances.
- As part of your Fire Risk Assessment compliance
- To comply with all Health & Safety requirements and ISO standards
- To comply with Quality Assurances
We look forward to hearing from you!
