WHAT IS PAT TESTING?
(PAT) Portable appliance testing is a safety precaution that ensures the electrical appliances used by places of employment, service or hire will not cause damage or injury to employees, customers or renters. Electricity at Work Regulations imply that is the responsibility of businesses and employers to ensure the equipment is Safe to use. You are expected to keep a regular log of maintenance that includes inspection and testing of all electrical appliances along with a schedule of Results, hence "In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment" (PAT Testing) was born- a universal industry standard method and practice designed to ensure you are complying with the Law.

WHY DO I NEED PAT TESTING?
Trusting PAT Testing Hertfordshire with your electrical safety needs also protects you against accidents that may unfortunately occur in your workplace or property, and if your electrics and appliances haven’t been PAT Tested, insurers could reject your claim outright and you could be found legally liable or even found criminally negligent. Health and Safety in the workplace is everybody's responsibility including the safe use of electrical equipment- (eg. Employees, Contractors, Managers, Maintenance Supervisors and Landlords) are each regarded by the Electricity at Work Regulations as "duty holders". This means that they should operate a routine safety testing programme for all equipment within their control and at a time based on competent risk assessment. Do you need a PAT Tester in St Albans?
