How important is PAT Testing and what does it mean to you?

It is a sad fact that most people and businesses tend to overlook the importance of PAT Testing or Portable Appliance Testing.

Many businesses see it as an unnecessary burden and cost to have someone stick green “PASSED” labels on their appliances and often resent the cost of doing so. 

However, if you consider that unlike fixed electrical wiring, portable appliances are considerably more likely to cause accidents to employees in the workforce than that of fixed installations and can often result in serious injury when overlooked and neglected. After all, you are required to have an annual MOT to ensure the roadworthiness of your vehicle. Don’t neglect the integrity of your appliances

 

At ANH Electrical Services, we pride ourselves in meticulous attention to detail when testing your appliances using the latest testing equipment from Seaward (a locally established company in Peterlee who are industry leaders in the field), to ensure you and your employees safety.
