Why do you need PAT testing?
You need PAT Testing to make sure your electrical appliances are safe to use and to help you comply with UK workplace safety laws. Employers, landlords and anyone responsible for a premises have a legal duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to make sure electrical equipment is properly maintained and does not put people at risk.
PAT Testing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to meet this duty. It helps identify faulty, damaged or unsafe appliances before they cause electric shocks, fires or injuries. Many insurers, letting agents and health & safety policies also require regular PAT Testing as part of their risk management.
In short, PAT Testing helps you stay legally compliant, protect staff and customers, reduce fire risk, and prove your electrical equipment is safe with a clear record of testing.
