Portable Appliance Testing is an inspection of electrical items to ensure that they are fit for continued use. The law states that ‘All systems shall be maintained so far as is reasonably practically possible to prevent danger (Regulation 4 (2) Electricity at Work Act)’. Employers, institutions, and landlords, therefore, have a statutory responsibility to ensure that all electrical appliances used by employees, guests, and tenants are safe.
This include:-
Computers, monitors and peripherals requiring mains power
Audio and telephone equipment requiring mains power
Kettles, microwave ovens, and other kitchen appliances
