PAT testing in Sheffield
What is PAT testing?
PAT testing, or Portable Appliance Testing, is a safety check for electrical appliances that are plugged into the mains. This can include office equipment, kitchen appliances, extension leads, power tools, chargers and other portable electrical items used in rental properties, workplaces and business premises.
The aim is simple: to help identify damaged, unsafe or unsuitable equipment before it becomes a problem. The HSE explains that portable electrical equipment should be maintained to prevent danger, with checks based on the type of equipment, how often it is used and the environment it is used in.
The aim is to help:
We check for signs of damage, wear, loose connections and other issues that could make equipment unsafe.
PAT testing can help identify appliances that may pose a risk of electric shock, overheating or fire.
Useful for landlords, businesses and workplaces that want clear records of appliance checks and maintenance.

The importance of PAT Testing your commercial premises in Sheffield
Particularly in commercial environments, there are usually lots of appliances in use at any given time. This could be anything from a phone charger to a large multifunctional printer. With this in mind, it’s advised that you arrange for your commercial property to be PAT tested every once in a while to protect your staff. It is not a legal obligation to have a PAT test, which is why lots of people neglect it. However, it’s an effective way to ensure your building is safe. Untested appliances are hazardous in any building and they have the potential to cause injury or a fire.
Not only will a PAT test ensure that your employees are safe, it will also reduce the risk of your appliances becoming damaged. Damaged appliances are often more costly to replace. However, just because your appliances have been tested, you should not allow your staff to become complacent. You will likely be held liable if a member of your staff becomes injured through the use of an unsafe device or appliance.

Need fixed electrical testing too?
PAT testing checks portable appliances. If you need the fixed wiring, circuits, sockets and consumer unit checked, you may need an EICR instead. Smart Electricians can also help with EICR testing, minor electrical works, rewires and consumer unit upgrades.
