PAT testing provides greater safety in your Harwich workplace

Having portable and fixed electrical appliances tested in your Harwich business is not only good practice but also keeps your staff and customers safe. A further reason can also be that your insurance provider will often insist upon it.  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

Even though there is no legal requirement to test appliances regularly, you risk being fined £5,000 if there is an incident involving a faulty appliance. In some cases prison sentences are given out when an untested appliances causes a fire resulting in death of injury.  Fines can even be higher than £500 and prison sentences of 2 years are not uncommon. This sort of sentence can occur if lives are endangered. Portable appliance testing isn’t legally required, but it does give you protection and also helps with insurance.

Your Insurance Company may insist on portable appliance testing

Many insurance companies insist that electrical appliances are PAT tested on business premises and in hospitality settings such as hotels, concert venues and restaurants, before providing insurance. Consequently portable appliance testing has become essential for many businesses with fixed and portable electrical appliances on their premises.  If you have to claim because of a faulty electrical appliance that hasn’t been PAT tested regularly, your claim and settlement figure could be impacted.
