Multi Site & Commercial Clients

In any large organisation, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of portable electrical appliances. The employer has a legal duty to make sure that they are safe.

Of course, you could just pay us to test everything every 12 months, but this is NOT a legal requirement, and in fact is not always the best approach if you have large numbers of appliances to look after. A better system is one that considers the type of equipment used in your organisation and then determines a sensible inspection and test frequency based upon a risk assessment.

Our services to large organisations and multi-site clients are based around a consultancy service to help you find the best approach to tackling your inspection and testing requirements, along with the necessary technical expertise to help you achieve the targets. This gives you a system that is cost effective and provides a higher degree of safety.

A typical service would include:-

• A site visit by a consultant to look at the kind of work carried out, the equipment being used and any systems already in place, and to make preliminary observations and recommendations.
• A detailed report, containing recommendations and all relevant legal guidance. This can form part of your safety policy.
• Short training sessions for all of your staff in basic electrical safety and 'user checks'
• More detailed training for your staff if required so they can carry out the formal inspection and testing, or follow-on visits by our engineers at prescribed intervals to carry out the inspection and testing for you.

Our one-day certificated PAT testing training course is designed to give you the necessary skill, experience and knowledge to carry out Portable Appliance Testing - either in your own workplace, or as a service to other people. You will receive a certificate at the end of the course, and you will be able to carry out PAT testing after completing the course - you do not need to be a qualified electrician - we start at the beginning. All you need is a willingness to learn, and some common sense!

Our courses are all held in top venues, with first class facilities and excellent catering - all INCLUDED in the course fee! Or, if you prefer, we can organise training at YOUR premises! Our courses are not lectures, but interactive training events designed to give YOU the essential information, experience and knowledge to carry out PAT testing.

All of our courses are led by Tim James - the UK's leading authority on PAT testing. Tim has over 20 years experience in the field of PAT testing and has worked at the highest levels in the industry.

The course contains valuable practical sessions to give you hands-on experience of PAT testing. If you already have a PAT tester, bring it with you to the session if you can - otherwise use ours! We're happy to show you how to get the best from your PAT tester, or give you unbiased advice on the best machines to buy for your needs.
