PAT Testing

Portable Appliance Testing (also known as PAT testing or electrical equipment inspection) is the easiest way of ensuring that all your electrical equipment is safe to use.

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 makes it your responsibility to make sure all of your electrical equipment is safe and compliant. If not, you could be putting yourself, your employees, your office and ultimately your business at risk.

We’ve been providing PAT testing at Hawkesworth since 1993, and provide equipment testing services across the UK and Ireland.
