Newcastle – Gateshead – Tyneside – Washington – Sunderland
Providing a North East PAT Testing Service
We provide PAT testing services to all types of workplace throughout Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Tyneside, Washington and Sunderland for just 65p per item.
Health and Safety in the UK requires you to maintain safe electrical equipment – the best way to do this is through regular PAT testing; otherwise known as Portable Appliance Testing.
The process involves a thorough visual inspection by a competent PAT tester, plus, when required tests using a PAT machine.
PAT testing should be an important part of your health and safety policy, and should not be ignored – it may even reduce your insurance premiums!
The HSE report that around 25% of all electrical accidents involve Portable appliances which is why regular inspections are so important. The Health and Safety at Work Act requires an employer or business owner to ensure appliances that are used by employees, the public, tenants, students, guests or anyone else, are safe to continue using.
We offer one fixed price for PAT testing all portable appliances including remedial repairs, replacement plugs and fuses, itemised labels and the PAT Testing Certificates which we aim to get to you within 24 hours of the job being completed.
Our PAT testing will help you to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act, Electricity at Work Act and many others.
