Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing)
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is an important part of everyday health and safety, whether it be in your home or your work place.
If you are a business owner or landlord then you have a duty of care to your staff or tenants to ensure, through periodic PAT Testing, that any portable electrical appliances provided are safe to use.
This includes any appliances in shops, offices, hotels and guest houses, public accomodation (leased and rented), cafes and restaurants, public houses, public buildings, schools, residential homes and construction sites.
According to the health and safety executive 25 % of all reportable electrical accidents are due to faulty portable appliances.
We can offer an efficient, cost effective PAT Testing service ranging in price depending on the number of appliances to be tested.
