🔧 DIY Tips
PAT testing is not DIY:
⚠️ Why you can't do this yourself
- Requires calibrated test equipment
- Needs competent person certification
- Legal liability if done wrong
- Records must be valid for insurance
📐 What you can do
- Visual inspections regularly
- Remove damaged equipment from use
- Keep cables tidy and undamaged
- Report faults immediately
- Prepare an inventory for testing day
💡 Pro tip: Keep equipment registers up to date. When new items arrive, add them to the list for next PAT test. When items are disposed of, remove them.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
