PAT Test NW7 Mill Hill
Every property in NW7 Mill Hill, whether residential or commercial, will have a wide variety of electrical appliances which should be checked for safety on a regular basis by having PAT Tests carried out. If you are not having regular PAT Tests on your portable electrical appliances then you are putting the occupants of the property at serious risk of injury from electrical and/or fire damage. If you are a musician and live or perform in NW7 Mill Hill, then you should also consider having Portable Appliance Testing carried out on any electrical equipment you use when you are performing.
If you are a property or business owner, there is a lot of legislation which places the responsibility for checking the safety of all electrical appliances used at your feet. The items covered by the PAT Test includes: microwaves, computers, laptops plugged into the mains, monitors, TVs, fridges, printers, photocopiers, vending machines etc. Any item which is plugged into a wall socket and weighs less than 18kg is covered by the PAT Test.
For musicians, the same legislation regarding electrical appliances, especially electrical appliances in the workplace, applies to you when you perform in public. It also applies to the venues of NW7 Mill Hill which you are gigging in and they are starting to check their performers are having regular electrical testing, cancelling performances if not. PAT Tests will cover you against this event by checking equipment such as: amplifiers, microphones, lighting, keyboards, speakers etc. for electrical safety.
There are some general myths which have arisen around the PAT Test which are not true. This has led to some confusion regarding the necessity of PAT testing and how often they should be carried out. Contrary to the information provided by some companies and websites, PAT Tests are not a legal requirement. They are, however, heavily recommended as they provide comprehensive cover of the legislation for electrical safety. You are also not required to have them performed annually. All that is required is for regular testing to be carried out on the portable electrical equipment in your property.
