PAT testing on building sites
We provide Portable Appliance Testing for building sites across the North East of England
What needs PAT testing on a building site?
A portable appliance is an electrical appliance fitted with a plug; so everything you plug in to a socket, on your site, requires an inspection and test by us or another person competent in electrical safety, on a regular basis. The PAT testing frequency should be proportionate to the risk of the appliance use and the environment it is being used in – on a building site this tends to be every 3 months to a year, as the nature of the appliances you use being mainly hand-held the risk of damage occurring is quite high.
You need to maintain safe electrical equipment in order to comply with Health and Safety at Work – regular PAT Tests help you to do this
A PAT test by a top company, will help you comply with this and other regulations, and by getting an itemised PAT Testing Certificate Report you will be getting the records you need as proof that you have taken action to ensure your equipment is safe. The report includes an itemised list of all appliances that pass; information on any appliances that fail (which is a risk assessment in itself) and an overall Certificate.
We also provide you with guidance on what we have done and what you could do better to improve safety.
How can we help you?
Having specialised in portable appliance testing since 2009 we have plenty of experience PAT testing on building sites, so we know we can help you make sure your salon electrical equipment is safe to use.
Making sure your portable electrical equipment is safe for you customers and your staff is so important to you, and we know that, so it is important to us that we give you peace of mind so you can go about your daily business without worrying about dodgy electrics.
We will come in at time to suit you, inspect your drills, grinders, computers and other appliances that plug in, carry out any necessary repairs (including repairing damaged 110v leads, which we know you will have at least one of), test what needs testing and when we leave you will know that your equipment is safe.
And we promise to remove the previous companies messy labels and replace them with our nice tidy, professionally printed new labels, which we will put on your equipment neatly and discreetly.
Back at the office we will download the results to produce for you a PAT Test Certificate Report which we email to you as a PDF document, usually the same day or within 24 hours of the job completing.
Then, when your PAT tests are next due we’ll contact you to remind you, suggesting a date to come in, so you don’t even have to remember anymore about your regular checks, so you will always be compliant.
