At PAT Testers we are constantly amazed and amused by the many industries that order and need PAT Testing equipment.
So, for your information and amusement we’ve put together a top 10 list of PAT testing sectors and clients
- Schools/Education
From Nurseries to Universities, all education facilities need to carry out PAT testing on their premises to ensure safety for all users. - NHS
All Hospitals and Surgeries need to have PAT testing carried out in their buildings and any technician carrying out this testing will require good reliable equipment. - Highstreet
PAT testing for the high street is big business, the vast amount of public interaction with this type of building means that PAT testing procedure is vital. - Hair Salons/Hair Dressers
One of the most re-occurring PAT testing clients is often hair salons, due to the frequent mixing of water, electricity and chemicals. - Water and Snow... well kind of.
Leisure buildings, swimming pools, sports halls and gymnasiums all need regular PAT Testing services. Recently, a customer of ours requested some custom labels as he was going to PAT Test a large indoor snow slope! - Small to Large Business Buildings
Sometimes overlooked, but it's important that all business premises regularly employ PAT testing services for equipment from computers to water coolers. - Place of Worships
Surprisingly, places of worship need PAT testing services, including convents, churches and mosque’s, to ensure that worshipers are safe during prayer time and general usage. - Ministry of Defence
This department is an extremely important PAT test, due to the nature of the equipment stored and used on MOD sites, and the personnel that use this equipment. - For Let / Landlords
The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 requires landlords to ensure electrical installations and electrical appliances are safe for use. So, a PAT Test is always required in rented properties. - Dinosaurs!
OK... maybe not the dinosaurs, but across the country there are hundreds of exhibits, museums and art galleries all serviced by PAT technicians from the till in the gift shop to the projector in the exhibition rooms.
