“How To Slash
PAT Testing Costs”
Electrical safety testing specialist Seaward Electronic Ltd estimates that at any time around 20 per cent of electrical appliances used in workplaces require re-testing to ensure that they do not pose a hazard to users. To overcome such problems the company has recently introduced new electrical safety testing management software designed for safety personnel, facilities managers, maintenance staff and those contractors with responsibility for ensuring that working and public environments remain safe.
The system is said to provide automatic and pre-emptive re-test alerts for electrical equipment and appliances. The program works by automatically monitoring, analysing and interrogating existing safety testing records, triggering an immediate e-mail message highlighting those electrical items requiring re-testing.
Software development manager Alan Barrett, of Seaward, said: "Periodic testing is essential to verify the safety of appliances. It follows that any failure to remove items from general use when they have not been tested means that they pose a significant hazard to all users--including employees and members of the public."
Seaward says its software has been designed specifically to help organisations meet the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 by providing advance notice of the safety testing usually undertaken by electrical contractors, and/or in-house maintenance staff.
