Portable Appliance Testing

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 apply to all aspects of use of electricity within the workplace.

Employers, Institutes and Landlords have a statutory responsibility to ensure that all in-service equipment (portable appliances and fixed appliances) on their premises are safe for use. Regular testing plays an essential part in ensuring that this is documented.

In-service equipment testing can be cost-effective with many insurance companies offering reductions for employers and landlords that have a regular annual schedule system of testing.
