Any appliance with a mains plug attached must be regularly tested in line with recommendations under The Health and Safety at Work Act, and Electricity at Work Regulations.

These can include computers, monitors, photocopiers, printers, refreshment machines, cash tills, kettles and microwaves, vacuum cleaners and floor polishers. All need regular testing and certification to confirm they are safe to use.

CANAM’s PAT contracts include a risk assessment, which helps set the right testing frequency. The assessments are important to Clients, as part of their duty to comply with Best Practice, all necessary regulations, and insurance requirements.

Our operatives are considerate, and conscious of the need to work alongside our clients and minimise disruption to their business. We are used to working in occupied premises and in sensitive environments, including areas where computer equipment is in use, co-ordinating any necessary shutdown of equipment for testing.
