Portable Appliance Testing
Calbarrie approaches Portable Appliance Testing [PAT] in a
clear, defined and methodical way, leaving you in no doubt which
appliances pass or fail.
What is it?
Portable Appliance Testing is an inspection of electrical items
to ensure that they are fit for use. This is undertaken by an
engineer trained to spot electrical flaws or damaged cables, for
instance.
Why do I need it?
Day-to-day use of portable electrical appliances inevitably
causes wear and damage to leads, plugs and to the item itself. If
undetected and unresolved, this may in turn result in an electric
shock or fire. Employers, institutions and landlords therefore have
a statutory responsibility to ensure that all electrical appliances
used by employees, guests and tenants are safe.
What is the legal requirement?
All systems shall be maintained so far as is reasonably
practically possible to prevent danger. Regulation 4 [2]
Electricity at Work Act
Who does it apply to?
All commercial environments and where the public reside or
visit
