Why Your Middlesbrough Business Needs PAT Testing
Electrical faults remain one of the leading causes of workplace fires and accidents. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, all electrical systems and equipment must be maintained in a safe condition. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 also places a general duty on employers to ensure the safety of employees and others who may be affected by their work.
Read the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 here: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. The HSE recommends that portable electrical appliances are inspected and tested at appropriate intervals depending on the type of equipment and environment. In high-risk settings such as industrial units, kitchens, construction sites or offices with heavy use, more frequent PAT testing is advised.
