Portable appliance testing (PAT Testing) or the In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment is an essential part of any maintenance program. PAT testing is proven to be the best way to safeguard your business, employees & visitors safety within your premises. A regular preventative maintenance program also ensures that all reasonable steps have been taken to comply with current health & safety legislation. Furthermore, it can also prove you have not been negligent in cases where claims arise against your business or where you need to claim for insurance in cases of loss or damage.
Fire alarms are installed to protect your building and its occupants acting as an early warning system enabling a safe and timely evacuation from the building in the event of a fire. Keeping your fire alarm system adequately maintained will ensure the occupants are alerted in the event of a fire and also help to prevent false alarms. A recent investigation by Which? has revealed unsafe smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors have been sold by a number of online sites. The unbranded alarms could be "putting lives at risk" with hundreds of listings for unbranded alarms failing basic smoke and gas tests.
Emergency lighting is necessary should your building suddenly experience the loss of mains power. It assists in evacuating your building safely providing illumination of a sufficiently high level to enable all occupants to evacuate the premises safely and calmly. Failure of the system may lead to sudden darkness and pose a possible danger to the occupants, either through physical danger or panic so it is important that it is regularly tested and maintained. Emergency lighting is sub-divided into two types that automatically come on when the power supply to the normal lighting system within a building fails.
