Portable appliance testing

PAT Testing as part of your office removal or change project

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) requires every employer to ensure work equipment is efficiently maintained and kept fit and suitable for its intended purpose.  It must not be allowed to deteriorate in function or performance to such a level that it puts people at risk.

This means that regular, routine and planned maintenance regimes must be maintained. 

Ensure you have a safe workspace

Reorganising your wokspace is a key time to review your IT and electrical equipment prior to the transition to your new environment.

Pickfords  can arrange for your electrical equipment to be tested to ensure it is compliant with health and safety regulations and functions safely prior to your reorganisation.  PAT testing identifies any equipment that is faulty or may need to be replaced.   All equipment will be tested by a qualified PAT Tester and the results are recorded against your asset catalogue.
