Do I Need PAT Testing in Milton Keynes? (2025)
|
Health and Safety in the workplace is everybody's responsibility including the safe use of electrical equipment ( for 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.
Regular electrical safety checks protect you against accidents that may unfortunately occur in your workplace or property, and if your electrical equipment 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. |
