PAT Testing your electrical appliances in Braintree is the safe thing to do

Getting your electrical equipment regularly checked by a qualified PAT tester is no only responsible but also good practice. It maintains safety standard for your staff and customers. These days insurance companies often insist upon PAT testing in order to provide insurance for your business, as fires can be caused by faulty electrical appliances.  The regulations below give more information: -

• Health and Safety at Work Act - Electricity at work 1974
• The Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989
• The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations of 1998
• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations of 1999

There is no legal requirement to Pat test appliances regularly, but business owners risk fines of £5,000 if a faulty appliance results in an incident. We have heard of cases where prison sentences have been handed out because fire as a result of faulty and untested equipment caused a death.  Fines have been known to be higher than £500 and prison sentences of 2 years have occurred where lives are endangered. You may argue that as portable appliance testing isn’t required by law why bother, but insurers often insist upon it and by doing this you are protected against fines or prison if something should go wrong.

These days insurance company frequently insist on portable appliance testing

Insurance companies will often only issue a policy under the proviso that electrical appliances used ibn the business are PAT tested. This is especially so in the hospitality industry. This means hotels, concert venues, night clubs and restaurants. Additionally, businesses like hairdressers, bars and factories might also be asked to PAT Test by insurance companies. Because of this, it has become an essential part of safety policy for many businesses that have fixed or portable electrical appliances on their work premises.  If you make an insurance claim and your insurer then finds out that the electrical appliances in your business aren't tested regularly, your claim may be damaged and it could impact negatively on the settlement your receive.
