Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

Maintaining the safety of your electrical appliances is a vital part of protecting your team and your premises. To help you meet the standards required by the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it is essential to implement a regular regime of inspection and testing.

These guidelines ensure that any electrical equipment, from office laptops and kitchen kettles to industrial power tools, is maintained in a safe condition to prevent danger. Following the IET Code of Practice, we perform detailed visual inspections and formal electrical tests to identify potential faults that aren't always visible. While the legal duty to ensure equipment safety lies with the employer or property manager, the process is simple and effective when managed as part of a planned safety strategy.

By partnering with Bell’s Inspections, you can focus on your daily operations with the peace of mind that your equipment is safe and your legal obligations are met.
