If you own a business or you are a landlord for a rental property in SW9 Stockwell, you may be putting people\u2019s lives at risk by not having Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) carried out regularly. While not a legal requirement, PAT Testing<\/a> has gained industry wide, and unofficial government approval, acceptance as the most efficient and comprehensive safety check of portable electrical appliances you can have.<\/p>\n

What electrical safety legislation should I be aware of as a Landlord or Employer?<\/h3>\n

As a Landlord or Employer, every single appliance that you supply in your SW9 Stockwell workplace or rental property must meet stringent safety standards. These are outlined and explained in detail in the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (1999), the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (1998), the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations (1994), the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989) and the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974). There are other pieces of legislation which relate to electrical safety, but these are the main pieces of legislation which focus on the issue. All of the specifications and requirements of this legislation are checked and covered by PAT Testing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what is PAT Testing?<\/h3>\n

PAT Testing is a comprehensive check which assesses both the internal components of the appliances as well as the external casing, flex cable and plug. PAT Testing also includes a check of the environment the appliances are used in, and the general safety of the area.<\/p>\n

When should I have PAT Testing?<\/h3>\n

PAT Testing<\/a>\u00a0can be done anytime you feel you need it. It is recommended that the tests are carried out regularly, preferably once every 12 to 18 months. Any more frequently is up to your discretion, however, the safer your appliances the better for all concerned.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n
