What is a portable appliance?

 

In simple terms, a portable appliance is an electrical item with a plug attached.


Why is PAT Testing important?


PAT Testing is widely recognised as good practice in minimizing electrical risks in the workplace as it assists you in following some of the health and safety regulations, such as The Electricity at Work (1989). Another way of looking at PAT Testing is to consider it as an electrical ‘MOT’ of your electrical equipment. By having a planned system of inspection, you are more likely to ‘nip potential electrical problems in the bud’ because electrical systems and equipment left unchecked are likely to degrade which could lead to your undoing - both financially and in terms of health and safety.
