1) Ensure Safety & Compliance with Professional Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, we understand that electrical safety is paramount for businesses. Whether you operate in an industrial setting or a commercial environment, ensuring that your electrical appliances are safe and compliant with regulations is not just good practice—it’s a legal requirement. That’s where Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) comes in.

2) Why is Portable Appliance Testing Important?

Electrical appliances are used daily in workplaces, but over time, wear and tear can make them unsafe. Faulty electrical equipment is a major cause of fires and electrical hazards, leading to potential injuries, downtime, and legal repercussions. PAT ensures that all your portable appliances meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines and industry regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Regular PAT testing helps businesses: 

✔ Identify potential faults before they become hazards. 

✔ Reduce the risk of electric shocks and fires. 

✔ Comply with legal and insurance requirements. 

✔ Maintain a safe working environment for employees and customers. 

✔ Prevent unexpected equipment failures that could disrupt business operations.

3) Our Comprehensive PAT Testing Service

At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, we provide a thorough and efficient PAT testing service tailored to the needs of industrial and commercial businesses. Our fully qualified electricians use the latest testing equipment to inspect and certify each appliance for safety.

What Our PAT Testing Includes:

✅ Visual Inspection – Checking for signs of wear, damage, and overheating. 

✅ Electrical Testing – Using specialised equipment to test insulation resistance, earth continuity, and polarity. 

✅ Pass/Fail Labelling – Clearly marked labels indicating appliance status. 

✅ Detailed Reports & Certification – Full documentation for your records and compliance. 

✅ Minor Repairs & Replacements – Where possible, we repair minor faults to prevent unnecessary downtime.

We can test a wide range of appliances, including:

  • Office equipment (computers, printers, kettles, etc.)
  • Industrial tools and machinery
  • Kitchen appliances in commercial settings
  • Extension leads and chargers
  • Any portable electrical item used within your workplace
