This is why you do need portable appliances testing
Some say you don’t need portable appliances tested, that it is a waste of money or unnecessary; those people have never had an electric shock, suffered the loss from an electric fire or failed a fire or safety inspection – they’ve been lucky.
If you want your business to comply with UK safety regulations then you need to be sure that the electrical equipment you provide for use at work is safe to use; if you are the designated responsible person or business owner, you are legally responsible if there is an accident, so better safe than sorry; be sure your equipment is safe. The easiest, and often cheapest way to do this is through a “PAT testing” programme.
PAT testing, or inspection and testing of electrical equipment to give it its correct title is a process of preventative maintenance whereby equipment is checked visually and by a portable appliance tester to ensure it is safe to use; and if not it will either be repaired or taken out of service to prevent accidents occurring.
