What is Electrical Equipment Testing?
Electrical Equipment Testing (also known as PAT inspection) helps ensure electrical equipment is safe to use and isn’t putting people or property at risk. By identifying damage, faults or wear early, testing can reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or equipment failure, particularly in busy workplaces and construction environments.
