PAT Testing and Electrical Equipment Testing in Industrial Sectors

In the highly specialised and often hazardous environments of factories and workshops, safety is paramount. When it comes to electrical safety, Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a necessity that no industrial facility in London can afford to overlook. The risks are higher, and so are the compliance requirements, making PAT testing in London an important part of your risk management strategy. 

​In an industrial environment, cutting corners on safety can result in catastrophic consequences. With comprehensive and regular PAT testing, you safeguard not only your assets but, more critically, the lives of those who operate them.​ 
The need for rigorous electrical safety protocols and Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) in industrial settings, warehouses, factories, and other work environments cannot be overstated.

Legal Requirements for Factories & Workshops

Facilities and Warehouses across London must comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, as well as any industry-specific guidelines. The regulations state that all electrical equipment must be maintained in a safe condition and are subject to regular checks. Failing to meet these criteria can result in hefty fines, production downtime, and even legal repercussions. 

Regulatory frameworks have been put in place to ensure both employer and employee safety. Understanding the types of equipment in your industrial setting will not only aid in maintaining a safe work environment but will also help you comply with existing regulations.

Choosing the Right PAT Testing Service for Your Warehouse in London
​

Your selection criteria should be stringent. Look for an Industrial PAT Testing in London service provider, that employs engineers accredited with City and Guilds 2377 Electrical Equipment Maintenance and Testing qualifications. Additionally, opt for providers who can adapt to your factory’s operating hours to minimise downtime.
Frequency of Industrial PAT Testing:
In a factory or workshop setting, PAT testing should be frequent due to the higher risk involved. High-performance equipment and heavy-duty tools that are subjected to daily stress should be tested semi-annually, while less critical equipment may only require annual testing.
​
Cost-Effective Safety Measures:
When balanced against the potential risk and subsequent cost of equipment failure or workplace accidents, PAT testing is highly cost-effective. Downtime, damage, and legal fees can far surpass the investment in a well-executed PAT testing program.

​​Risk Assessment: 

Prioritising equipment based on its usage and vulnerability in agreement with the duty holder.

​Maintain records of test results and re-test dates for future assessments, remember HSE can request at any time.
