Testing & Portable
Appliance Testing
Portable
appliance testing (usually referred to as PAT
Testing) is a process by which electrical appliances
in an organisation are checked to see if they are safe.
Although it is easy to get bogged down in the detail,
it is important to remember that PAT testing is simply
a process which determines whether or not an appliance
is safe to use.

Every
year in the UK approximately 30 people are killed as
a result of coming into contact with electricity, and
hundreds more are seriously injured.The Health &
Safety Executive states that 25% of
all reportable electrical accidents involve portable
appliances - kettles, fridges, toasters, fax
machines and computers - in other words, the appliances
the you and I use every day!
There
are many good reasons to carry out pat testing:-
- Compliance
with the very latest health and safety regulations
- Risk
of fire and injury from portable appliances is minimised
- Compliance
with ISO9000/1 and BS5750
- Satisfy
the requirements of your insurers - if you're not
sure about this check the small print on your employer's
liability policy!
But probably the most compelling
reason to have your equipment checked is to consider
the likely consequences if you do not
have the testing done and one of your staff were to
be killed or injured!
