In today's fast-paced business environment, electrical safety compliance should always be a top priority. One critical aspect of ensuring safety in the workplace is through comprehensive Fixed Appliance Testing (FAT). At Electrical Test Midlands, we specialize in providing this essential service to ensure all your hardwired electrical items are compliant with the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989).

Understanding Fixed Appliance Testing (FAT)

Fixed Appliance Testing (FAT) is a systematic process designed to assess the safety and functionality of electrical appliances that are hardwired to the main electrical circuit. Unlike portable appliances that plug into a socket, fixed appliances are permanently installed, which means they can be easily overlooked when it comes to regular safety checks. Examples of these fixed appliances in your business may include air conditioners, hand dryers, built-in fridges, and heating units.

The Risks of Neglecting FAT

Neglecting to conduct regular FAT can lead to dire consequences. Faulty fixed appliances can cause circuits to trip unexpectedly, leading to operational downtime and potential losses. More alarmingly, these issues can escalate into severe fire hazards. A single malfunctioning appliance can put the safety of your employees, customers, and premises at significant risk.

Compliance and Safety

Compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989) is not just a legal obligation; it's a moral one. By ensuring that all your fixed appliances are regularly tested and maintained, you are taking proactive steps to protect everyone who interacts with your business. This commitment to safety not only fosters a secure working environment but also enhances your reputation as a responsible and caring employer.
