Both the UK Health and Safety Executive, and all major insurance companies, require employers to perform regular PAT tests on electrical equipment.
PAT testing is usually carried out on an annual basis; however, you may need to carry out more frequent testing depending on the nature of your business. For example, it is recommended that equipment on construction sites be tested every 3 months for health and safety purposes.
What is a PAT Test?
A PAT test is an electrical equipment inspection that is usually carried out in two parts: a visual inspection and an electrical test carried out using specialised testing equipment. After the test, a label is normally attached to the equipment indicating whether it has passed or failed and detailing the next test date.
It is a legal requirement that all emergency lighting systems undergo a full 3-hour discharge test every year.
This works to ensure that the system is fully functional and ensures that, in the event of an emergency, all escape routes remain lit for their required length of time.
Thermal imaging is used to scan electrical objects for internal deterioration or other abnormalities.
Thermoimaging inspections are one of the most thorough and valuable forms of maintenance for large businesses or organisations, where continuity of process is paramount.
How does Thermal Imaging Work?
A thermographic camera is a device that forms images using infrared radiation. Thermal imaging is a widely used method of detecting problems in electrical equipment as it can identify issues that cannot be seen with the naked eye without interfering with the equipment.
Thermal imaging can help detect problems before they surface, allowing for planned maintenance, minimising the risk of fire, and preventing costly production downtime’s.

We needed 6 Solar Panels to be assembled and dismantled few days later. These were for training purposes for local Fire Brigade in Manchester. Project was successful with just few minor issues that have been addressed and resolved at the time. We would definitely use Griff Services Ltd in future.
The team at Griff Services are very friendly and have superb attention to detail. They have installed a number of our chargers, and the service they provide us is great.
Griff Services did a great job for me. They arranged for the installation of the EV charging point at short notice and provided update and reminder text messages prior to the job. On the morning of the install they also notified me of the installer Tom's ETA. Tom did a great and tidy job and was extremely pleasant to deal with. Overall I would highly recommend them for future work. Thank you
