What are the benefits of working with DRA PAT testing?
The Electricity at Work Regulations (EAWR) 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 require employers (as ‘duty holders’) to provide a safe working environment in regard to all electrical equipment and systems, regardless of when they were manufactured, installed or brought into use.
Employers, the self-employed and employees all have duties and obligations to comply with the requirements of these regulations, which apply to all places of work, with no exemptions. All electrical systems must be maintained in a safe condition and an important aspect of such maintenance is regular PAT testing of appliances and electrical inspection and testing of the mains wiring system (EICR).
You can do this in-house however most businesses find this impossible. You can PAT test your own equipment but do you have the time, resources and knowledge?
