Health and safety may be a bureaucratic joke in some people’s minds, but it is not a laughing matter.
And PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is an integral and important part of any health and safety policy.
Official figures show that 25 per cent of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances.
According to the National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers these are defined as an electrical item which can be or is intended to be moved while connected to an electrical supply.
This can include everything from a toaster and a hair dryer to IT equipment such as computers, mail-processing machines, and photocopiers.
Regulations place a legal responsibility in employees and self-employed people to take reasonable practical steps to ensure that using such equipment ensures no danger.
Effectively, this requires a systematic and regular programme of maintenance, inspection and testing of appliances. In addition, this is something that insurance companies may also insist upon.
Apart from the obvious dangers, it is worth bearing in mind that a computer can be corrupted if the wrong voltage is used; this could cause problems with the data you hold.
PC Problems is working closely with Proactive Appliance Testing in testing your computers and other office equipment to keep your business on track.
And to make sure that nobody goes hungry they can also test your toaster!
