Why have PAT testing?
25% of accidents reported to the Health and Safety Executive are caused by faulty portable appliances, from kettles to photocopiers to overloaded extension cables and reals. According to the Health and Safety Executive, there are approximately 1,000 major electrical related injuries reported each year. These can involve burns and electrical shocks and of these injuries around 30 of them are fatal.
All Landlords and companies have a duty of care to make sure that every electrical appliance provided to tenants and staff is safe for use. Having regular inspections of electrical equipment is the best way to ensure that these safety standards are met. Many insurance companies insist on up to date PAT testing records be kept to validate insurance.
What should be maintained?
All electrical equipment and electrical systems should be maintained on a regular basis (usually every 12 months). Each and every piece of electrical equipment must be examined and tested according to the IEE (Institute of Electrical Engineers) Code of Practice recommendations by a competent electrical engineer. This includes equipment both permanently connected and equipment connected by a plug to a socket outlet.
What is included in the service?
Each piece of equipment inspected and tested which is safe to use will be given a 'pass' sticker providing information of the date it was inspected, recommended date for next inspection, the engineers details and an appliance identification. You will also receive a results table giving all the information of each piece of equipment inspected as well as a certificate of compliance with regards various health and safety regulations. Any items that are deemed unsafe will be taken out of use, given a 'failed' warning sticker and reported to the manager or business owner. All documentation is sent via email or can be posted at the request of the customer.
*For businesses and landlords within South Yorkshire it is £69 for the first 20 items with additional items charged at £1.20 per item.
