What is pat testing? 🤔
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.
Various laws and regulations indicate it is the responsibility of businesses to perform such tests as often as deemed necessary to ensure the equipment is functioning properly.
The purpose of the testing is to examine equipment for damage or malfunction so as to keep the workplace safe.
Damaged electrical equipment may shock users with voltage, trigger a fire with a short or ignite an explosion if it is in close proximity to certain chemicals or fumes. These hazards are preventable with proper testing.
If you require pat testing, or know someone that does then please get in contact 😊
