University PAT Testing
Whether you need the University’s own electrical equipment testing, or the property of your students our PAT testing engineers are experienced and professional, providing a comprehensive inspection and testing service for either. All our work complies with the latest HSE requirements and industry standards. A regular PAT testing programme helps you to ensure your electrical system is safe for continued use.
We provide an efficient and professional PAT testing service with minimal disruption to your business, with free remedial repairs and promptly issued PAT test Certificates, to help you comply with the latest electrical safety regulations.
Furthermore, we do all this at great prices, and for universities with high numbers we offer the best price discounts.
University PAT Testing should be repeated as often as your risk assessment says so, you probably already have a plan on that and don’t need our input – we will happily work to whatever schedule you have.
Our University PAT Testing Service
In almost every workplace today we have kettles, fridges, computers, printers, phone chargers and so on; some businesses also have tools, vacuum cleaners, and more high risk equipment.
Most appliances will operate on 230v but we can also do tests on 110v and 415v appliances, as well as fixed equipment, and have the capability to do your fixed wiring inspections (EICR) too.
As an experienced PAT testing company we can operate in all environments, so even if your business is not exclusively office we can still help you.
- Free and automatic remedial repairs
- Free replacement plugs & fuses
- Free cable management to ensure efficiency, safety and tidiness
- Minimal disruption guarenteed
If you have server systems we can work with you to test them out of hours, once in a five year spell (they don’t need doing every year either), and can check them visually or even with thermal imagery at regular intervals. Some companies say they will do a ‘full visual inspection’ on your server but if they can’t unplug it they can’t fully inspect it.
Regular PAT testing can help you reduce insurance premiums, as it equates to a risk assessment of your electrical equipment, helping to determine the safety levels in your business, and the need for more or less frequent inspections.
Regular PAT tests are considered to be the most effective way to comply with your obligations for workplace health and safety, and electrical regulations – failure to ensure electrical equipment is safe can be considered to be a failure to comply with the law.
For University PAT Testing it could be the uni’s own electrical equipment needs checking, or the personal equipment of the students, it could be IT rooms, lecture halls, science labs or halls of residence. Whatever area of the Uni needs PAT testing we can help, and we can offer big discounts against our normal rates as you’ll likely have thousands of appliances for us to check.
