I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful, professional service of DRA PAT Testing who recently checked over all of Seaham Sea Cadets equipment. We were over the moon with the conscientiousness and quality of service. Kyle and his colleague attending were superb, and extremely helpful, courteous and professional throughout - a glowing testament to a business to be both proud of and confident in. Thank you again, on behalf of all the Cadets, in helping us so much towards reopening and parading again; it is very much appreciated by all of us at the Unit. We look forward to booking DRA again next year and are very happy to recommend you to anyone.

We came across DRA last year having been recommended to use them for our office PAT testing. We obtained a number of quotes and DRA were the most competitive. They duly completed the work. Found their service exemplary. We were duly contacted by Richard this year 4 weeks ahead of our renewal date to remind us that the PAT testing was due for renewal. We had no hesitation in asking his firm to complete the work. They have been out and we are compliant for another 12 months. They provide a great service and would highly recommend. They politely remind you when the testing is due for renewal so you are always protected.

Why PAT testing is necessary

The HSE expects every workplace to perform PAT inspections and testing of all appropriate electrical equipment to make sure it is safe or to determine the need for any maintenance.
You need to perform regular inspections and tests to reduce the risks from electricity including electric shock, burns, arcing, fire and explosions.
Insurance companies expect you to be compliant with all workplace regulations to ensure the validity of your insurance policy
There are numerous legislations that require regular inspections and testing of electrical equipment (PAT) including the Electricity at Work Regs, and the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Portable electrical appliances and equipment include any electrical appliance that connects to the mains using a plug and socket system, and any appliance that has been ‘hard wired’ but can still be moved.

Why you need to PAT test

PAT testing is important because it confirms whether or not an appliance is safe to use (by inspecting and testing); the engineer will usually carry out repairs if there is a fault (maintenance) and it provides you with a PAT Testing Certificate (records) – all of which help you to comply with UK workplace regulations and insurance, including..

✅ Regular electrical inspection and testing helps you ensure electrical equipment is safe

✅ A PAT engineer will assess the suitability of an appliance for the environment it is being used in to help you comply with The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

✅ PAT testing records can be used to demonstrate compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989

✅ Regular PAT testing helps you to comply with The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992

✅ Regular PAT tests in rental property help you comply with The Housing Act 2004 (England and Wales)

✅ PAT tests before the start of a tenancy help a landlord comply with The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s guidance

✅ Regular PAT tests help you comply with The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016

✅ If the plug of an appliance doesn’t meet the Plugs and sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994 we will change it for one that does.

Regular Workplace PAT testing is essential

If regular workplace PAT Testing is not already an important part of your business health and safety policy, it should be. PAT testing done well will help you to maintain safe electrical equipment which protects users and your business from electrical accident, and in turn ensures that you are compliant with the Electricity at Work Act, amongst others.

We carry out workplace PAT testing in all kinds of business premises including offices, schools, doctors surgeries, dentists, hotels, shops, salons, factories and so on.

Whatever your business, if you are looking for someone to do your workplace PAT Testing, get in touch so we can help.
