Tower Hamlets is home to one of the densest concentrations of workplaces in the country — Canary Wharf’s offices, corporate headquarters, plus the hospitality and retail that serve them. All of it relies on portable electrical equipment that must be kept safe. GFL Electrical carry out PAT testing across the borough.
What PAT testing is
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) inspects and tests plug-in equipment — computers, chargers, kitchen and break-room appliances, leads — to confirm it’s safe. Key points:
- There’s no fixed legal interval — the duty is to keep equipment safe, and PAT is the standard evidence.
- Frequency is risk-based — an office is lower-risk than a busy commercial kitchen.
