Businesses in the United Kingdom are subject to strict Health & Safety regulations, and it is essential that they comply with this legislation at all times. These laws exist to ensure a safe working environment for employees and visitors in the workplace. Any organisation that fails to adhere to the relevant legislation could face severe penalties if there is an incident as a consequence of this negligence.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is there to ensure all electrical equipment in the workplace is safe. It should be performed once a year, and Integrated Compliance offers PAT testing in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. Any appliance that we test that is found to have damage or glitches can be either repaired or disposed of at a low cost – the service need not be an overly expensive one. Once the electric PAT testing has been carried out, all confirmed appliances will have a sticker placed on them to demonstrate that they are safe, and a full certificate will be issued for all work carried out.

What are the benefits of using a PAT testing Edinburgh based company?

Having qualified, experienced professionals carry out official PAT testing will result in stickers that cover your appliances for up to a year. Having PAT testing regularly carried out will give you the ultimate peace of mind that the equipment your staff use is safe and in good working order.

It’s an important part of compliance with your Health & Safety obligations, and at Integrated Compliance we offer the service at a hugely competitive price for businesses in and around the Edinburgh region. PAT testing is the only way to ensure you and your employees are safe when using electrical appliances, all year round.

Who needs to be thinking about PAT testing?

PAT testing is important for business owners, landlords, public service providers and employers. There are legal requirements for you to ensure electrical appliances at your premises/properties are safe to use. As it currently stands, the relevant legislation is:

1. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
2. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
3. The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999
4. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
5. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992

These may not all apply to you, but any that do must be strictly complied with. At Integrated Compliance, we can carry out the work to ensure you are meeting your obligations. We cannot, however, provide legal guidance about which regulations apply to your circumstances. PAT testing will cover your requirements relating to electrical equipment, in a no-nonsense process that will provide you with the certification to verify your compliance and assist in acquiring insurance.
