Schools across Northwest England have a duty of care to pupils, staff, and visitors that includes ensuring electrical equipment is safe. PAT testing is the practical way to meet this obligation.
Why Schools Need PAT Testing
Schools are full of portable electrical equipment: computers, projectors, laminators, kettles, heaters, science equipment, music equipment, power tools in DT workshops, and much more. Ofsted and local authority inspections expect to see evidence of regular electrical safety checks.
What Gets Tested in a School?
- IT equipment — computers, monitors, projectors, interactive whiteboards, printers
- Classroom equipment — laminators, guillotines, visualisers
- Science equipment — power supplies, microscope lights, heaters
- DT workshop equipment — power tools, pillar drills, soldering irons
- Staff room appliances — kettles, microwaves, fridges, toasters
- Office equipment — printers, shredders, phone chargers
- Cleaning equipment — vacuums, floor polishers
- Extension leads and adapters in every room
