Pat Testing
Practical appliance safety checks for workplaces and dutyholders
Visual inspections first
Simple checks catch most issues, damaged plugs, crushed cables, loose connections, and signs of overheating.
Electrical testing and results
Appropriate tests for the equipment type, with clear pass or fail outcomes and notes where needed.
Labels and records that make sense
Labelling and records are not legally required, but they are useful for managing equipment and proving a maintenance scheme exists.
Repairs, replacements, and re-tests
If an item fails, we explain why, advise the safest fix, and can re-test once repaired or replaced.
Keep staff safe, reduce risk, and stay on top of your equipment.
PAT testing that supports safety and compliance
Portable and plug-in equipment is used every day across offices, warehouses, factories, and public buildings. Over time, plugs, leads, connectors, and internal components can degrade or get damaged, especially in high-use environments.
PAT testing is part of a sensible maintenance plan that typically includes user checks, formal visual inspections, and electrical testing based on risk.
It is also a myth that everything needs a yearly PAT test; the dutyholder should set what is required, and how often, based on the risks.

Where PAT testing makes sense
PAT testing is most valuable where equipment is frequently moved, heavily used, or used by multiple people. A risk-based testing plan helps you keep equipment safe, reduce failures, and maintain clear records.
Offices and business centres
Keep everyday equipment safe, monitors, docking stations, kettles, and extension leads.
Warehouses and logistics sites
High use equipment and leads, testing supports safe day-to-day operations.
Manufacturing and industrial premises
Portable equipment in harsh environments benefits from routine inspection and clear defect tracking.
Construction and refurbishment projects
Portable tools and site leads take more wear, frequent checks reduce risk and downtime.
Healthcare and public sector buildings
Clear records and consistent testing support dutyholder responsibilities and audits.
Education sites and campuses
Testing for shared equipment used by staff and multiple departments.
Hospitality and retail
Safety checks for front-of-house and back-of-house equipment, often used daily.
Facilities management and multi-site estates
Consistent labelling, tracking, and reporting across multiple locations.
