PAT Testing
Following the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers bear the responsibility of ensuring a safe working environment for all individuals on their premises, including the safety of electrical appliances.
PAT Testing
by Grant Keddle Electrical
PAT, or Portable Appliance Testing, is a vital aspect of maintaining electrical safety in the workplace. It involves the thorough examination of every electrical appliance equipped with a plug and is reasonably portable or movable. For employers, demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding employees from electrical hazards is paramount. Electrical appliances, if not properly maintained, can pose significant risks such as electric shock due to damage or deterioration.
The Portable Appliance Testing Process:
During a PAT test, our experienced technicians conduct a meticulous inspection to identify any visible damage or signs of wear. Subsequently, electrical tests are performed using state-of-the-art PAT testing equipment. These tests ascertain crucial factors such as proper earthing, integrity of internal wiring, and absence of power leakage.

I needed the electric fence in my horses’ paddocks checking as I was sure it was broken but didn’t want to test it myself (ouch!). Grant was due to visit on Friday and was actually able to get to me a day earlier - very efficient. Grant was extremely thorough and found the problem quickly as well as offering a perfectly good solution. Most notably, Grant must be THE most polite tradesman I’ve ever met! Thoroughly pleasant chap all round.D I2023-07-27Highly professional, thorough and reliable service from Grant. We would highly recommend him. Alex JAlex James2023-07-19
