Health and Safety regulations recommend that electrical appliances in the workplace be tested and maintained at regular intervals to prevent any dangerous situations from arising. If you run a business, you are legally required to test all of your portable appliances periodically. At J&C Contractors, we offer PAT Testing services to keep businesses safe and compliant – contact us today.
What is a PAT Test?
Many electrical accidents are caused by faulty portable appliances. The risk of this can be reduced by getting all workplace equipment periodically tested by a trusted electrician. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the process of routinely inspecting and testing electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. This test helps identify any faults that could pose a risk to employees, customers or property. PAT testing is vital for any workplace or rented property to ensure compliance.
Our PAT Testing Services
PAT Testing gives you the peace of mind by identifying potential electrical faults and offering advice to make sure your business avoids dangerous accidents. An accredited record of testing will help with any insurance claims and will allow you to avoid potential heavy fines. We provide our services to all types of businesses, from small to large business premises.
The Electricity at Work Regulations are in place to prevent death or personal injury caused by electrical systems in the workplace. Business owners without a record of safety measures will be liable in the event of an accident and may fail to claim insurance without proof of safe practices. PAT Testing is a safety net of evidence when it comes to legal compliance.
We will also provide you with your legal paperwork at no extra cost. Our professional engineers are fully accredited and will perform a thorough service with an itemised report and legal certificate to prove your adherence to UK guidelines. We will test all of your appliances in one visit, and any required minor repairs and materials are included. Contact us today for a tailored quote.
