What is PAT Testing?

PAT testing is the routine inspection of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. This involves both visual checks and electronic tests using specialist equipment.

Appliances like kettles, computers, printers, and extension leads should be checked regularly in any workplace. For businesses, it’s about protecting people and staying compliant.

Why Your London Business Needs PAT Testing

1. Health and Safety Compliance
   Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must ensure all workplace equipment is safe and properly maintained. PAT testing is one of the easiest ways to fulfil this obligation.2. Insurance Protection
   Most commercial insurance policies require evidence of regular electrical safety checks. Without PAT testing, your claim could be denied in case of fire or injury.3. Employee and Customer Safety
   Faulty appliances are a major fire hazard. Regular PAT testing reduces the risk of shocks, fires, and workplace injuries.4. Avoid Business Disruption
   A faulty computer or power strip can halt operations. PAT testing helps spot issues before they cost you time and money.5. Legal Peace of Mind
   Should the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or your local council visit, a valid PAT testing certificate shows you’re acting responsibly and legally.

How Often Should PAT Testing Be Done?

Testing frequency depends on appliance type and usage:
– Offices: Every 12–24 months
– Shops or salons: Every 6–12 months
– Construction tools: Every 3 months
