If you’ve ever had an electrical accident, or know someone that has, you’ll appreciate how important it is to make sure that electrical appliances in the workplace are safe to use. With insurance claims running into the thousands it has become extremely important to make sure the workplace is safe.
KJB Electrical are a team of experts in Portable Appliance Testing (P.A.T.) We provide a reliable, professional service at great prices.
Why You Need Your Appliances Tested
The main reason for P.A.T. testing is FIRE. Insurance companies are now very often asking to see P.A.T. testing records. Not having these records can affect the price, some insurers will even refuse to insure without you having a P.A.T. testing system in place.Health & Safety Inspectors will normally ask to see these records also on any inspection visit.
Other reasons include:
What the Government Say
The UK Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 requires that “every employer shall ensure that work equipment is so constructed or adopted as to be suitable for the purpose for which it is used or provided”.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1998 states “As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent so far as reasonably practicable, such danger.”
This means that employers (and the self-employed) have a duty of care to ensure that all electrical work equipment is safe, suitable for the purpose, and properly maintained in good order. PAT testing is the best way you can fulfil this obligation.

That is why when we give you a price depending on size of your business, it will include most of these ‘hidden extras’ for free.
