Nearly a quarter of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable or transportable equipment with the majority of these accidents resulting in an electric shock. Electricity at work regulations means that employers must ensure that all electrical work equipment is safe, suitable for the purpose and properly maintained in good order.

I&T Electrical offer a service in the self delivery of Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) in the Hertfordshire area (50 mile radius of Hertford) by our fully trained staff. We ensure that all portable and transportable equipment is PA tested regularly at a frequency applicable to the customer’s site and will advise on any associated risk. To eliminate any concern about appliances being out of date we will schedule sites when a test is due on a year on year basis.

By having a structured approach to PAT testing faults can be found prior to an accident, possibly fatal, occurring. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is not a legal requirement, but employers have a duty of care towards their employees. Following the PAT route is a way of showing due diligence and protecting those at risk.

Personnel carrying out the Portable Appliance Testing  should have a qualification, such as the City and Guilds 2377 examination.

Our Electrical Testing meets the requirements in compliance with the IEE code of practice for in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment 3rd edition.
