The Electricity At Work Regulations, 1989 cover every kettle, fax, copier, computer, extension lead, etc., in a business or public place. In fact, if it is electrical and has a plug on it, whether it is in regular use or not, then it must be maintained safely. Portable Appliance Testing, or PAT Testing, is a common service to maintain electrical appliances.
If you have not implemented a Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) regime for all your electrical equipment, then:
1. You could be breaking the law.
2. If an accident occurs, HSE can prosecute with heavy fines.
3. Under the rules of Corporate responsibility, Directors can now be held personally responsible.
4. Your Building, Employers and Public Liability insurance may be invalid.
5. You are putting yourself, your employees and possibly your customers at risk.
But how do I know if a piece of equipment is safe or needs maintenance? There is only one way and that is to have it tested.
Our approach to this service is from an IT point of view rather than those of standard electrical testing practices. This means with over 10 years experience in the IT industry and environment we are confident and sympathetic with all office and IT situations.
