Construction PAT Testing

Construction is one of the most important and potentially dangerous sectors to make sure that your tools and work equipment are tested and comply with Health & Safety standards. This is the case because of the surroundings that the electrical equipment is used in and the hazards that can come from working in them are greater than say an office workers equipment.

In some instances the contractor may not be legally allowed onto the site as their tools don't comply with regulations and the sites insurance needs. The same can happen with a tradesman in the sense that if they haven't had equipment that they use on site tested then they may not qualify for an insurance payout (depending on your insurance agreement) if any injuries or accidents happen because they haven't implemented a regular programme to ensure the electrical safety of the equipment.

Where as office workers appliances are mainly in a nice dry relatively clean workplace, builders and tradesman can and do work in all kinds of weather conditions. This can take its toll on the condition of your electrical equipment when they are used and left in all kinds of conditions. The likeliness of equipment gathering cracks in casing, slits in cables or plugs becoming unsafe is much greater in these conditions.

National PAT Testing can advise and work together with this sector and undertake a testing programme to help ensure you are in the know. We can give advise on the frequency of testing needed for your business situation, builder or tradesman.
