Work / PAT testing electrical equipment in Poland [51]
I believe that PAT testing is not legally required here in the UK.
I just had this discussion this morning with a company who rang to inform me that our company has a legal obligation to ensure electrical equipment is safe (which is true) but the truth is it is usually insurance policies that insist on PAT testing and not UK law.
What actually happens is loads of companies have realised they can blag their way around this and ring businesses up trying to scare the crap out of them just to get some money
