Create a culture of safety.

Regular PAT Testing demonstrates a commitment to safety and creates a culture of care within the workplace. It shows employees and customers that a business is serious about their well-being.

How often should PAT testing be conducted?

The frequency of PAT Testing varies depending on the type of appliance, its use, and the environment it’s used in. For instance, appliances used in a harsh industrial environment may need more frequent testing than those in a small office. A risk-based approach is often recommended, considering these factors.
