ELECTRICAL TESTING

PERIODIC INSPECTIONS

I  will perform a thorough safety check on all electrical installations throughout your workplace. I will provide a detailed inspection report highlighting any issues found and actions to rectify these issues.

​

A Periodic Inspection Will:

  • Highlight possible electric shock risks in addition to fire hazards.

  • Show any electrical circuits or equipment that are overloaded.

  • Show up faulty electrical work.

  • Reveal any lack of earthing or bonding.

​

Wiring and fixed electrical equipment are also tested to ensure that they are safe and a schedule of circuits will be provided, which is a must for all commercial properties.

PAT TESTING 

PAT testing is required for various electrical appliances including toasters, computers, powers tools and more. This will make certain that the equipment is safe to use for a period of time. The time you should leave between PAT tests is dependent upon the appliance itself and the environment in which it is being used.

​

Employers and employees are now legally obliged to take reasonable steps to ensure that all electrical equipment is safe to use. As an expert in PAT testing we can help you meet your legal requirements in this regard.

It is up to the employer to ensure that work equipment is appropriate for the purpose for which it is provided, only used in the place and under the provisions for which it is provided. Employers also need to ensure that work equipment is well maintained and kept fit for purpose. This means that regular, routine and planned maintenance must be in place.

​

All equipment undergoes an initial visual inspection to ensure both the flexible cable and the appliance are free from wear and tear, damage, and signs of burning. Plug tops are also opened to ensure correct wiring, correct fuse rating and again free from damage or signs of overheating. Providing the appliance successfully passes the formal visual inspection, the appliance will then be subjected to a series of electrical tests depending on its classification; all testing will be performed by a PAT tester with a valid calibration certificate.

​

Benefits of PAT Testing:

  • Reduces the risk of electrical accidents

  • Protects your employees at work 

  • Prolongs the life of the equipment

  • Reduces downtime in your business

  • Avoids legal penalties and fines

  • Reduces your insurance risk
