Portable Appliance Testing

Are you sure your electrical appliances are safe?

If they aren't, your personnel are at risk, and your building is at risk. Faulty appliances are common causes of electric shock, fire or burns in the workplace.

Under the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989), it's a legal requirement that appliances used at work should be adequately maintained so that employees are protected from the dangers presented by a faulty appliance - and that includes fire.

Basingstoke Fire Protection will carry out a comprehensive check to ensure you comply with current guidelines to ensure the safety of all employees, temporary staff, contract workers and site visitors.

Test your appliances and minimise the risks.

Portable Appliance Testing: What does the law say?

The Electricity at Work Regulations (1989):

  • These regulations (made under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974) include a recommendation for inspection and testing of electrical equipment to be a necessary part of any maintenance programme
  • Regulation 4(2) is the statutory requirement for electrical equipment to be maintained where danger would otherwise arise.
