Keep your employees, property, and business safe with professional PAT testing from MAGG Fire Services. Our team ensures all your portable electrical equipment is inspected, tested, and certified to meet UK safety regulations.
We provide a tailored, risk-based PAT testing plan with instant digital reports and certification for every appliance. Our experts combine fire and electrical safety guidance under one roof, offering an efficient testing process that minimizes disruption to your operations while giving you complete peace of mind.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the formal inspection and electrical testing of portable equipment to ensure it is safe to use. Regular PAT testing helps prevent electrical fires, electric shocks, short circuits, and equipment failure, which can otherwise lead to costly downtime.
Failure to test appliances may affect insurance claims in the event of an accident.
PAT testing protects your workplace by identifying faulty electrical equipment before it causes injury or damage. It also ensures compliance with UK law, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). Keeping appliances in top condition reduces operational risks, prevents insurance claims, and creates a safer environment for staff, visitors, and clients.
PAT testing is recommended for all businesses and property owners, including employers, landlords, schools, nurseries, hotels, shops, construction sites, and event organisers. Essentially, any organisation using portable electrical equipment should schedule regular testing to maintain safety and compliance.
