You may have heard this type of testing referred to as portable appliance testing. PAT is a vital part of your Health and Safety requirements and is a form of electrical safety testing to establish how safe the electrical items you use on a day to day basis. This can be anything from a computer, kettle or fan in your workplace or home. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 puts the duty of care upon both the employer and the employee to ensure the safety of all persons using the work premises, this also includes the self employed. There is are no absolute rules regarding how often an item of electrical equipment should be tested but HSE Guidance Notes advise “regular testing” which is generally interpreted as annual testing. This of course does depend on a number of different factors such as the age and type of equipment. We can advise you should you have any queries that you may have on your PAT testing requirements. We carry out all types of electrical testing so if your requirements are not mentioned here then just give us a call to discuss.
