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 of an electric fire or failed a fire or safety inspection – they’ve been lucky.
In a nutshell; 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.
