Do you need to find portable appliance testing for your workplace or business?
If you run a small business, charity or are in charge of a public sector organisation or educational establishment, then you will certainly be aware that you are legally required to make sure that all of your electrical equipment is maintained and safe for employees to use. The most common way to achieve this is to employ a professional to undertake portable appliance testing that ensures that your equipment is working properly and fit for purpose. Once tested and certified as safe, the appliances are usually fitted with stickers giving details of when they are next due to be tested again or else noting that they are safe to use until a certain date. Whilst ensuring that equipment is safe is a legal requirement, you will of course wish to ensure that your employees and customers are safe and sound. Portable appliance testing will help you to do that.
Which kinds of equipment require regular portable appliance testing?
In truth, any piece of electrical equipment that is portable, hand held or plugged in needs to undergo portable appliance testing. In most workplaces, this will include (but is certainly not limited to) items such as desktop and laptop computers, along with any peripherals such as monitor screens, projectors, printers and scanners. It will also include any televisions, video or DVD players, stereos, laminators. Pieces of specialized equipment will also need testing and it is important to remember that ‘non work’ items in communal areas will also need to be made safe, so microwaves, fridges and freezers, kettles, toasters and toasted sandwich makers will also need attention.
