PAT Testing for Offices & Workplaces
Efficient PAT testing for offices, shared workspaces and commercial premises with flexible appointments and clear digital records.
Keep office electrical equipment organised and maintained
Modern offices use large numbers of computers, monitors, docking stations, chargers, printers, kitchen appliances and other portable equipment. Most office equipment is relatively low risk, but condition, movement and use still need to be considered as part of an electrical maintenance programme.
We can test around working hours, departments or floors to reduce disruption and keep asset records clear.
What our PAT testing service includes
- Visual checks and testing appropriate to the equipment
- Workstation, IT and office appliance testing
- Kitchen and communal-area appliance testing
- Digital records for facilities and health & safety teams
- Evening, weekend and phased-floor appointments available
Testing frequency should reflect the equipment, how it is used and the environment. HSE guidance makes clear that annual PAT testing is not automatically required in every workplace; a sensible maintenance programme should be risk based. Read the HSE PAT guidance.
Risk-based testing for low-risk environments
HSE specifically notes that annual PAT testing is not automatically necessary for every item in a low-risk office. User checks, formal visual inspection and testing should be selected according to risk.
Our approach can help you avoid an indiscriminate ‘test everything every year’ programme while still maintaining useful records and identifying damaged items.
Frequently asked questions
Do all office computers need annual PAT testing?
Not automatically. HSE recommends choosing inspection and testing intervals based on risk, equipment type and experience.
Can testing be completed outside office hours?
Yes. Evening and weekend appointments can be arranged where required.
Can equipment be tested desk by desk or floor by floor?
Yes. Larger offices can be phased to keep disruption controlled.
