PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is a safety check that ensures electrical appliances are safe to use and comprises of two key components:
1. Visual Inspection:
Check for visible damage to the appliance, such as frayed cords or exposed wires.
Examine plugs, sockets, and cables for wear or corrosion.
Ensure the appliance has the correct fuse and is safe to use.
2. Electrical Testing
