Imagine an electrical fire broke out at your business. Picture the damage it could do; the risks it would pose to your staff. Now, imagine there was something you should have done to prevent this, i.e. PAT testing, but for reasons best known to yourself, you chose not to check your company's electrical equipment. Think of the guilt you would feel at having exposed people you like (and some you don’t) to such profound fear and danger. Consider the stress you’d experience when trying to find the funds to repair and rebuild your premises. Your insurance company refuses to pay out because you didn’t fulfil your side of the contract – you didn’t PAT test your electrical equipment. Situations like this don’t bear thinking about. The good news is that Megger’s PAT150 or PAT250 PAT Testers can make it so that you never have to think this way. If you want to hear an expert explain how Megger PAT testers can streamline testing and secure your site against fires, watch our podcast with Megger's LVI Team Manager, Lee Baker.
