PAT TESTING LABELS

PAT (portable appliance testing) is an important part of preventing accidents that involve portable electric appliances; it an integral part of any safety and health policy. In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive reports that 1/4 of all reported electrical accidents directly involve portable electric appliances... Electricity at Work Regulations direct legal accountability on self-employed persons, employees and employers to be in compliance with the regulations and to take all reasonable steps to assure that no menace is presented by the use of the appliances. These regulations essentially mandate the creation of a regular, methodical program of inspection, testing and maintenance in the following circumstances: where appliances are serviced and/or repaired, hired or supplied, used by employees and where the public may use appliances such as hotels, shops etc.
