You’ll start by discovering exactly what PAT testing is and why it’s a vital part of workplace safety. We’ll walk you through real examples of portable electrical appliances and highlight the essential reasons behind regular testing.

You’ll get a clear understanding of what the law requires — and what it doesn’t — including a breakdown of the three main types of examinations used to keep your workplace equipment safe.
