What is PAT Testing and Why is it Important?
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is the process of inspecting and testing electrical appliances to ensure they’re safe to use. As part of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, businesses are legally required to maintain a safe working environment—which includes regular checks on portable electrical equipment. Faulty appliances can lead to electric shocks, fires, or other serious hazards.
What Does PAT Testing Involve?
Our certified electricians begin with a visual inspection to identify any signs of damage or wear. We then perform a series of electrical tests using a PAT testing device to check internal wiring, earthing, and insulation. Each appliance is clearly labeled and recorded for compliance documentation.
