The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers to comply with the provisions of the regulations and take reasonably practicable steps to ensure that no danger results from the use of such equipment. This, in effect, requires the implementation of a systematic and regular programme of maintenance, inspection and testing. The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) places such an obligation in the following circumstances:

• Where appliances are used by employees.

• Where the public may use appliances in establishments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc.

To help our customers with their Health and Safety compliance Office Interiors now offer PAT Testing services throughout Devon and Cornwall both on an ad hoc and a contractual basis. Examples of the types of work we carry out are:

• PAT testing and asset tagging
