PAT Testing

Why? Because as an employer you need to show that you are doing all you can to keep your employees safe as they go about their daily work. Electricity poses a great risk and appliances can easily become damaged or deteriorated leading to risk of electric shock.

​

The Health and safety at work act 1974 requires that employers and employees take responsibility for the safety of all those working at the premises. This includes the electrical appliances.
