Why Do I Need P.A.T Testing
Reasons for testing portable and transportable equipment
1. PAT Testing forms an important part of:
The Health & Safety At Work Act (1974)
2. The UK Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1988 (PUWER) states that “every Employer shall ensure that work equipment is so constructed or adopted as to be suitable for the purpose of which it is used or provided”.
3. The use of Electricity in The Work Place is subject to “The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989”
This regulation places a legal responsibility on employers and self employed persons to take reasonable practical steps to ensure no danger results from the use of any electrical appliances. This requires the introduction of a systematic and regular programmed schedule of maintenance, inspection & testing.
The Safety At Work Act places such an obligation in the following conditions:
- Where appliances are used by employees
- Where the public may use appliances in establishments
- Where appliances are supplied or hire
- Where appliances are repaired or serviced
- The level of inspection & testing required is dependant upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty, which is dependant upon the type of appliance used and the environment that it is used.
Increasingly the insurance industry is requiring that PAT Testing is carried out prior to the renewal of an insurance policy. This is because over 1000 work place accidents involving electric shock are reported to The Health & Safety Executive each year, of which some are fatal. Most of the reported accidents involve portable appliances.
