Why is it necessary?
Faulty electrical appliances can result in a user getting a shock or a fire breaking out.Increasingly, insurance companies are stipulating Portable Appliance Testing as a necessary condition of insurance on most business. If there was a fire and the management in a company could not show that regular PAT Testing had been carried out, some insurance companies could take this into account when arriving at settlement figures. There are a number of Health & Safety regulations that are in place to protect employees from danger. These imply directly or indirectly that employers have to ensure that electrical appliances do not cause any danger to staff. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. The Management of Health & Safety at Work Act Regulations 1999. The Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 2. Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. PAT Testing is a legal requirement in any workplace as it is a way of checking the safety of appliances. Companies are pushed to carrying this out by their insurance companies, local authorities, training bodies and trade associations. In summary, many companies find that they have to undertake PAT Testing in their workplace, primarily at the insistence of their insurance companies.
