A regular PAT testing (Portable appliance testing) survey is one of the ways that you can comply with this obligation. PAT testing, is a way of checking your electrical equipment to see if it is safe and is vital to protect your business, its employees or tenants. According to the Health & Safety Executive, portable appliances account for 25% of all reportable electrical accidents.

Insurance companies assume when giving insurance cover to a business that the owners are complying with all required regulations.Bear in mind an insurance company may reduce, delay or even refuse to pay on a claim for damage if an appliance that has not been tested has caused the damage. Failure to implement a programme of regular appliance testing can also have implications for an insurance policy should an electrical related injury claim be made.
