Murphy PAT Testing

PAT Testing - City & Guilds Qualified

All Employers and Landlords have a legal duty to ensure that portable appliances and electrical equipment within their properties are safe to use. PAT testing the equipment ensures peace of mind from both a safety and legal point of view.

Most insurance companies will require that the owners of a business are compliant with all relevant regulations. These insurers are fully entitled to reduce, delay or even refuse to pay on a claim for damage caused by a portable appliance that has not been PAT tested by a qualified person. Get in touch today to ensure the safety of your staff and customers.
