PAT Testing
PAT Testing legislation
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2007 S.I. 299, it is now a requirement under Irish law that all businesses’ are obliged to carry out PAT Testing on all portable appliances to ensure the safety and welfare of both employees and customers.
The responsiblity to carry out PAT Testing now falls entirely at the feet of the employer who is 100% responsible for saftey of said portable equipment. A 5 year minimum is required for records for possible external audits from the HSA. As Of 1st November, 2007, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2007 S.I. 299, section 81 states that an employer shall ensure that –
-
(a) portable equipment is maintained in a manner fit for safe use and
(c) portable equipment which is –
(i) exposed to conditions causing deterioration liable to result in danger,
(ii) supplied at a voltage exceeding 125 volts alternating current, is
(I) visually checked by the user before use, and
(II) periodically inspected by a competent person, appropriate to the nature, location and use of the equipment.
-
An employer shall ensure, where appropriate, that a competent person
(a) tests any portable equipment described in paragraph (1)(c)(i) and(ii)
