What Is PAT Testing?
A PAT inspection is the easiest way of ensuring that all of the portable electrical equipment on your premises is safe to use. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 makes it your responsibility to make sure all of your electrical equipment is safe and compliant. If not, you could be putting yourself, your employees, your office, and ultimately your business at risk.
You must maintain all electrical equipment in a state that is safe to use. A readily available record of periodic portable appliance checks and where necessary tests by a competent person should be kept in a safe place, this will help ensure your compliance with HSE guidelines and help keep your insurance valid.

Electrical Hazards
Did you know that roughly 1,000 electrical injuries are recorded in UK workplaces every year? Sadly, approximately 30 of these are fatal. According to the Health and Safety Executive, the most common cause of accidents is direct contact with an electrical charge, including poorly maintained equipment, specifically portable electrical tools.
Almost every workplace depends on electricity to function efficiently, whether it’s desktop computers in offices to equipment on construction sites. While most electrical appliances are completely safe to use most of the time, they still pose a risk for electrocutions and electrical shock injuries. Regular PAT testing helps you to identify and remove electrical hazards in the workplace, making the environment safer for everyone.
