Each year about 1000 accidents at work involving electric shock or burns are reported to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). Around 30 of these are fatal!

What The Tests Cover

Portable appliance testing includes a thorough visual inspection of the appliance to check for:

• Damage to the flex
• Damage to the plug and casing (overheating, burn marks, discolouration)
• An incorrectly wired plug
• An incorrectly rated fuse

A series of tests are then performed. Depending on the class of equipment, they may include:

• Earth continuity testing
• Insulation resistance
• Flex polarity test
• Earth leakage test
• Operational test

As all appliances need to be unplugged for testing, testing can be carried out outside of normal working hours or on a weekend ensuring there is no effect on staff productivity.

Appliances are labelled with the result of the test (pass or fail). Any remedial action that can be taken during testing (repairing plugs/fuses etc) will be carried out at that time at no extra cost. More complex faults or damage are reported to the business manager.
