PAT Testing in Hotels
Bill, owner/manager of a 40-room Hotel currently spends some £800 a year on a sub-contractor to carry out Portable Appliance Testing. The testing takes place over 2 days and gaining access to all the rooms can cause problems. He wants to investigate the possibility of this being done in-house to reduce costs and allow flexibility in the timing of the tests. However he is keen not to fall foul of the regulations.

PAT Testing in Offices
Electrical appliances start off perfectly safe, but with use can deteriorate to an extent where there is a risk of an electric shock or a fire. Just as regular MOT checks ensure the safety of cars on the road, Portable Appliance Testing (or PAT to use the popular acronym) ensures that electrical appliances continue to be safe to use.
