Health and Safety at work act

The 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act imposes a responsibility on both employers and employees to guarantee the safety of everyone on the workplace premises. The 1999 Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations stipulate that: “Each employer is required to conduct an appropriate assessment of the health and safety risks faced by his employees while they are at work, as well as the health and safety risks to individuals not employed by him that arise from or are associated with his business operations.”

Although PAT Testing is not explicitly mandated by UK law, those in charge (‘Duty holders’) are legally required to safeguard the well-being of employees and the general public. In essence, PAT Testing provides rigorous control measures to mitigate the risk of electric shock and fire, as outlined in the H&S Act. Additionally, PAT Testing offers recorded proof of the ‘maintenance’ of electrical appliances, in accordance with the 1989 Electricity at Work Regulations.
