Electrical Safety – PAT Testing, EICR, Emergency Lighting

DRA PAT Testing team of engineers

Maintaining safe electrical systems in all workplaces is essential to protect you and your team from accidents. Unsafe electric equipment is dangerous and can lead to shocks and fires, maintaining it through regular PAT Testing not only ensures a safe place to work, but also gives you peace of mind that you are complying with UK laws.

In addition to PAT testing we also help our clients with annual and monthly inspections of their Emergency Lighting, and their 3 or 5 yearly fixed wiring installation (EICR).

As a local provider, we like to help our clients improve their workplace safety, afterall you may not have time to consider your requirements, as we know, you are very busy with your own work.

Ongoing Compliance & Free Repairs

Putting a structured plan in place for maintaining electrical equipment is essential for keeping Newcastle’s workplaces safe. Whether you get your PAT Testing done annually, less often (such as an office), or even more frequent (e.g. building site tools) we can help you manage your electrical safety systems.

We issue reminders when retests are due. We can even set you up with a Service Agreement which fixes the price for 5 years, and gets all future appointments booked in upfront, so you have priority.

When we do our inspections we automatically repair faulty plugs, fuses and cables to ensure an appliance is safe, and it’s always free.

Calculating how many devices you have to PAT Test isn’t easy, we understand, and navigating all the compliance can be baffling. That’s why we are happy to visit you before or after quoting, before the job is done, to ensure your queries are answered. If you have too many appliances to count, a visit from us will be helpful. We’ll come to you, to count the devices you have, then quote based on that assumption.

Your PAT Testing Certificate Report is a compliant document, that you will need if there ever is an incident. You’ll also need it for ISO, Ofsted, CQC, CHAS, Safecontractor and so on, so its essential it includes everything you need, and you get it quickly. That’s why we issue these within 48 hours of the job completing, it most cases you will get it the very same day.
