An Appliance Test for a Commercial Property
If you are a commercial property owner, chances are you have a great deal of electrical appliances in operation in your workplace. What you may or may not realise is that you are legally required to ensure that each and every one of the electrical appliances in your commercial property must have An Appliance Test for a Commercial Property carried out on them regularly to check for safety. Possibly the best, and easily the most recommended, method of making sure you are covered when it comes to electrical safety is to have a Portable Appliance Test carried out regularly on your electrical equipment.
If you have supplied electrical appliances such as: TV’s; monitors; electric kettles; microwaves; printers; scanners; vending machines; fridges; PCs etc. All of these electrical appliances, and any appliances that weigh less than 18kg, are eligible forAn Appliance Test for a Commercial Property, and should have appliance tests carried out on them regularly. If any of the aforementioned equipment develops a fault and injures an employee as a result, you will be covered as you have taken all reasonable steps to ensure their safety.
When you book an Appliance Test for a Commercial Property, a fully registered PAT Testing engineer will come to your commercial property and begin to perform simple but effective checks of your portable electrical appliances. Your appliances will be checked externally for any damage which has occurred to the casing, flex or plug head; along with any signs of burning caused by over-heating appliances. There will also be an inspection of the plug head to make sure the right fuse is being used and that the appliance is wired properly. The last external check will be on where in the office your appliance has been stored. If you have left an appliance near running water, for example, you are likely to be causing a potential fire hazard.
The final stage of an Appliance Test for a Commercial Property is an internal examination of the components inside the electrical appliances. This will mean plugging your appliance into a PAT Testing machine to check the flow of electricity and that any internal insulation is still intact. If your appliance passes all of these inspections, it is safe to use and you will receive a “pass” sticker to attach to the appliance. If the appliance fails the Portable Appliance Test, it will receive a “fail” sticker and be decommissioned immediately, never to be used again.
