Portable Appliance Testing

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination inspection of electrical appliance to ensure they are in safe and usable condition for use.

Most electrical safety defects can be visually detected n the examination inspection process.

However, it is essential to understand that a visual examination inspection is an essential part of the process however the visual process cannot detect some types of the electrical safety defects cannot be detected by visual testing alone.

Under HSE The Electricity at work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury or harm is maintained in a safe condition.

However, the regulations do not specify what needs to be done or how frequently, but good practice is to have equipment examined and inspected every twelve months for peace of mind as an employer know you have put your employee’s safety first.
