WHY PAT TEST?
PATTA – the Portable Appliance Testing Trade Association – explains that electrical appliances are built to strict standards, which include being safe for use. However, over time, appliances can deteriorate to the point that they become a fire risk or risk giving an electric shock.
PAT testing is part of a system of preventative maintenance where these faults are found and rectified.
PAT is also a regular stipulations of business insurance policies; if there was a fire for example, the insurance investigators want to see that regular PAT testing has taken place to ensure that the workplace directors/owners have done enough to ensure that appliance was safe for continued use. Some insurance companies take this into account when deciding whether to settle a claim or not.
There are also a number of Health and Safety regulations that recommend electrical appliances are managed in a way to prevent danger to users.
These place a duty of care on employers and employees to ensure the safety of everyone in their workplace.
