Why do you need PAT Testing?
Portable appliance testing or (PAT) is an electrical inspection and testing of all electrical equipment that has a plug on it.
The Hse puts the responsibility of electrical safety solely on the employer to prove they have taken every reasonable step to ensure all electrical systems are in a safe condition.
Some of this can be done by simple user checks, however an in depth inspection and testing should be undertaken periodically. And records of this must be made to support your case if anything does happen.
Some companies prefer in house PAT Testing. This is fine however the company must ensure that testing is thorough and records are made. We recommend that an independent company carry out the testing. This is because should anything happen your company could still be liable as it is your in house tester that has undertaken he testing.
with Shocksafe we hold you test records so should the worse happens and you do not have them to prove in court that you have taken precautions we can supply you with a free copy.
