When it comes to electrical safety, it is your obligation under the Health and Safety at Work Act to ensure the safety of your staff, patients, pupils or visitors are not put at risk and that the installation continues to be in a safe and serviceable condition. PAT testing is an important verification tool. The whole process is known as "in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment." This routine check of all electrical appliances ensures that all your electrical appliances meet the strictest safety requirements.
DMB Services (Staffs) Ltd are electrical inspection and testing specialists based in Staffordshire. Our services include fixed wire testing (EICR) PAT testing, emergency light testing, thermal image surveys and general electrical maintenance.
Emergency Lighting Testing Emergency lighting systems are installed to provide assistance in evacuating a building in the event of loss of supply to the general lighting circuits through fire for instance. The Fire Precautions (workplace) Regulations 1997 state that "Emergency routes and exits requiring illumination must be provided with emergency lighting of adequate intensity in case lighting fails". It is the responsibility of all employers to ensure that these systems are suitably maintained and checked to ensure they are safe and compliant.
