Portable Appliance Testing
PAT testing helps businesses conform to the legal requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations (EWR) and The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
All
electrical equipment in the workplace must be actively maintained
to prevent danger and to ensure it is in good repair and efficient
working order. The legislation places a
duty of care on both employers and employees (including the
self-employed) to ensure the safety of everyone in the
workplace. PAT testing is the most
reliable means by which you can ensure you meet your legal
requirements.
Insurance
companies assume when giving cover that businesses are compliant
with all the necessary regulations. A company that suffers an
incident of electrocution or fire as a result of a failure to
maintain equipment to the required standard could find that their
insurance company may reject their claim. The company may also be
prosecuted under Health & Safety legislation.
Based in Ely, Pro-Pat provides a competitive, professional PAT testing service to Fenland, Cambridgeshire and further afield. For as little as 65p per item, we help businesses certify that their electrical equipment meets legal requirements for safety and satisfies the conditions of their insurance.
